Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Patchway

Looking for more control over your work in Patchway? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families needing hourly daytime support in their own homes. You’ll carry out visits that focus on personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — the practical support people need to stay comfortable and independent. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical shifts are daytime, short visits or longer hourly calls depending on what families need. You’ll be helping with personal care, getting meals ready, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, and doing shopping or errands. This kind of work suits carers who enjoy one-to-one time, want reliable routine work and prefer the variety of different client homes across Patchway and the surrounding area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide the service area you’ll cover. Typical rates on PrimeCarers are £19–£24 per hour, but you remain free to set the rate that works for you. Many carers who’ve moved from agency work tell us they value the freedom to accept only the clients and times that fit their life.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork, with support when you need it. We also support DBS arrangements if you need one, and our team can explain what’s required to get started quickly.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (which PrimeCarers can help arrange if required), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applications take minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. You can work across Patchway and nearby areas such as Bradley Stoke, Filton, Woodhouse Park, Thornbury, Kingswood and Yate, serving families across South Gloucestershire and beyond.

If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and hand back control of your diary, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. It’s straightforward to apply, you remain fully self-employed and you decide how much or how little you work. Join other experienced carers in Patchway who’ve chosen to work on their own terms.
