Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Shanklin

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Shanklin and across the Isle of Wight for ongoing hourly home care. You choose the clients you want, the hours you work and the area you cover, while PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance while you work. Carers set their own rates and keep full control over their diary. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day roles are daytime visits in clients' own homes providing personal care, help with meals, medication support and short errands. These shifts suit experienced carers who prefer one-to-one support and the variety of home visits rather than block shifts. You may cover Shanklin and nearby towns such as Sandown, Ventnor, Brading, Ryde, East Cowes and Cowes depending on the area you set for yourself.

Pay is set by you: many carers use the typical ranges as a guide — £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care, with more specific markers like £18.50–£20 per hour and the occasional £145–£160 per day referenced for longer day work. Because you’re self-employed you invoice for your time, but PrimeCarers takes care of client introductions, contracts and the payment process so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.

To join you need 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. We verify documentation to protect families and carers alike. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start being matched to local families quickly in Shanklin and across the Isle of Wight.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you’re ready to step away from agency constraints and run your own care work in Shanklin, setting your own hours and rates, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started. Create a profile, upload the required checks and references, and begin choosing the clients and visits that suit you.
