Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Polegate

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Polegate who need daytime hourly home care — short visits to help with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands. If you want more control than agency life without the admin, this is an ongoing way to build your own client list locally.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re based in Polegate or travel around the Hailsham and Eastbourne area, you’ll be matching with families who want compassionate, reliable help at home. Carers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates sit around £19–£20.50 per hour, but you decide what to charge for each booking.

The work is daytime, hourly home care: washing and dressing, supporting with mobility, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication (where you are comfortable and trained), companionship and running errands or small shopping trips. Visits are usually 30 minutes to a few hours — you pick what fits your week. PrimeCarers is advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Polegate and the surrounding parts of East Sussex, not a single role.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working on a booking, insurance is included. You remain self-employed: you choose which clients to accept, set your availability and manage your diary. This arrangement suits carers who want the stability of regular local work but more freedom than traditional agency shifts.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have training such as moving and handling or medication competency, mention it on your profile — clients often look for specific skills.

Applying takes minutes. Build your profile, submit your documents and references, and PrimeCarers verifies them — profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll then be able to see and choose local care opportunities in Polegate and nearby towns such as Hailsham, Eastbourne, Seven Sisters, Seaford, Newhaven and Bexhill on Sea.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over your hours, pay and clients while keeping the security of bookings and insurance, PrimeCarers could be the next step. Create your profile today and start choosing the daytime, hourly care work that fits your life.
