Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Northwood

Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed Hourly Care Assistant supporting people in their own homes across Northwood. The role focuses on daytime visits: helping with personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication prompts, and running errands to keep clients safe and independent. You set your own pay and hours — many carers work within £19–£21.80 per hour for hourly care and £148–£163.50 per day for live‑in day support. Right now, 116 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. If you value reliable, respectful relationships with families and prefer choosing who you work with, this is for you. Visits typically involve:

• Personal care: washing, dressing and continence support when needed.
• Meals and nutrition: preparing snacks and meals, supporting safe eating.
• Medication prompts: ensuring medicines are taken on time and reporting concerns.
• Practical errands: shopping, collecting prescriptions and light household tasks.

PrimeCarers is built for self‑employed carers. You choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers cover Northwood and nearby communities such as Pinner, Ruislip, Harefield, Hatch End, Rickmansworth and Eastcote. You set your rates (typical roles fall around £19–£21.80 per hour), and we do the client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments. While you work on a PrimeCarers booking, insurance is included, and we can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can support this), and verifiable references. We verify everything quickly so your profile can go live within days. Applying takes minutes — complete a short profile, upload IDs and references, and we’ll guide you through the checks.

Many carers move from agency work to PrimeCarers because they want clearer control over their time, more transparent bookkeeping and a closer relationship with families. You remain self‑employed: choose the hours and visits that suit you, accept or decline client requests, and set the price you want to charge.

If you’re already caring in Northwood or the greater Hillingdon area and want to work more independently while keeping steady bookings, this could be the change you’re looking for. Create your profile now — it only takes a few minutes, and you could be matching with local families across Northwood and nearby towns within days.
