Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in St Lukes

Looking for regular daytime home care work in St Lukes? PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers directly with local families for hourly visits. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role. Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As an hourly care assistant you'll carry out daytime visits helping clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and small errands. Visits typically last an hour or more and focus on supporting people to stay independent and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Work is available across St Lukes and the wider Islington area, and often near Barbican, Finsbury, Hoxton, Custom House, Farringdon and Shoreditch.

• Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency work—choose your clients, hours and service area, and work as a self-employed carer.
• Pay & flexibility: you set your own hourly rate and decide which bookings to accept. Typical rates fall around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the visit type.
• Types of tasks: personal care, meal preparation, medication prompting, companionship, light shopping and errands, and simple domestic tasks tied to the visit.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. PrimeCarers vets profiles and supports checks so you can get started with confidence.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work on bookings arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed, set your rates and accept the work you want. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re used to agency rota pressure and want control over your diary in St Lukes and across Islington, PrimeCarers is built for that switch. You’ll keep the hands-on caring work you enjoy while we manage the admin and client introductions—so you can focus on care and your earnings. Ready to apply?
