Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Ramsgate

Looking for more control over your care work in Ramsgate? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers directly with local families needing daytime hourly support in their own homes. You’ll visit clients for personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and light errands — all on terms you set. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, flexible work across Ramsgate and surrounding areas. You choose your clients, the hours you do and the service area you cover — whether you prefer short morning calls or longer daytime visits. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates (typical ranges are £18.80–£20 per hour) and retain the freedom that comes with self-employment while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform.

Day-to-day duties typically include personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), preparing or supporting meals, medication prompts, companionship and small errands or shopping trips. You’ll be dealing with people in their own homes, so reliability, sensitivity and good communication matter as much as practical skills. This kind of role suits experienced carers who want to leave agency constraints and manage their own diary.

PrimeCarers works with carers across Ramsgate and nearby towns such as Broadstairs, St. Peters, Botany Bay, Margate, Minster and Westgate on Sea. We support carers who already work in Kent and those looking to expand their local hours. Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification so you can start offering visits confidently.

Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is simple. Once verified, profiles typically go live within days, and PrimeCarers will begin matching you with families looking for hourly daytime care. You remain self-employed: set the clients you accept, set your rates and manage your diary. For clarity, typical care pay bands and formats will be shown in your profile using £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly work and £145–£160 per day for live-in day options where relevant.

If you’re based in Ramsgate, enjoy genuine one-to-one care and want to work on your terms, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move away from shift-led agency routines.
