Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Okehampton

We’re looking for experienced carers to provide hourly home care — daytime visits helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication and errands across Okehampton and the surrounding area. You’ll work with adults who want reliable, respectful support so they can stay independent at home. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These roles suit confident, skilled carers who want real control over their work. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the flexibility and the clearer relationship with families. If you like visiting different houses through the day, helping with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication where required, and running errands, this could be a good fit.

Pay is flexible because you set your rates; typical ranges are shown on our platform as £19–£19.20 per hour. For clarity, our live figures cover different kinds of bookings and you can compare £19–£19.20 per hour for hourly care or £148–£165 per day for day-rate live-in work as appropriate. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work so you can focus on care.

To join you need at least one year of recent professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify everything quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll remain self-employed, choosing your diary and the parts of Okehampton and wider Devon you want to cover.

Working through PrimeCarers suits carers who want fair pay, clearer paperwork and more say over their work patterns. You won’t be assigned shifts you don’t accept — you pick the visits you want and agree terms directly with families. Our platform supports both short daytime calls and longer hourly visits.
