Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Seaton

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant in Seaton and help people stay independent at home. You’ll visit clients for daytime visits to support with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. Work with people who need short visits or regular daytime support across Seaton and nearby areas. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — many carers in the area advertise between £18.89–£24.40 per hour for hourly home care. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working on a booking.

Typical daytime visits include helping with washing and dressing, assistance with mobility inside the home, meal preparation, prompting and administration of medication as agreed with the client, and running short errands such as shopping or collections. Visits are usually hourly or short-block daytime sessions; you can offer one-off calls or ongoing support depending on what you want to do in Seaton and the surrounding Devon towns such as Colyton, Lyme Regis, Axminster, Sidmouth, Honiton and Ottery St Mary.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who take pride in reliable, compassionate hands-on support. You must have the right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. We also welcome carers who already hold an Enhanced DBS and up-to-date references.

Pay and options: as a self-employed carer you set your rates. Typical ranges you’ll see on the platform include £18.89–£24.40 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for day rates where relevant. There’s no promise of exact hours — you pick the clients and shifts that fit your life.

Joining is straightforward: create your profile (it takes minutes), upload ID and references, and complete checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once you’re accepted, PrimeCarers will introduce families who match your preferences and handle the paperwork and payments, so you can focus on care.
