Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in St Helens

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant in St Helens and work daytime visits helping people stay independent at home. You’ll support with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — the practical, hands-on help that makes a real difference to families across St Helens and the wider Merseyside area. You choose which clients to work with, the hours you want and the area you cover, and you set your own rates. Right now, 18 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work rather than one specific role. Typical rates on our platform are £18.50–£20 per hour. Many carers find the hourly-care roles listed match the £18.50–£20 per hour range and occasional live-in day work sits around £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles client contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references, you can create a profile and start choosing local work. We frequently connect carers with families in St Helens and nearby towns such as Rainhill, Prescot, Whiston, Rainford, Earlestown and Newton le Willows.

Working this way gives you flexibility. Pick morning or afternoon visits, short blocks or regular daytime calls, and combine outcomes that suit your life. You’re self-employed, so you manage your diary and decide which bookings to accept. PrimeCarers makes it straightforward by taking care of the paperwork and payments, so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. There’s no obligation to accept any client you’re not comfortable with — it’s about matching the right carers to the right families in St Helens and across Merseyside. If you’re ready to leave agency constraints behind and control when, where and with whom you work, PrimeCarers can help you get started.
