Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Teddington

Work as a self-employed carer in Teddington offering hourly home care — daytime visits helping clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication and errands. You’ll visit people who want to stay independent, support families and bring kindness to familiar streets across Teddington and the wider Richmond upon Thames area. Right now, 204 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single job listing. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers prefer hourly visits because they fit around family or other work commitments and keep variety in each week. Typical rates fall in £18.80–£20.80 per hour depending on experience, tasks and travel.

What the role usually involves: daytime, hourly visits for personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), preparing meals, prompting or assisting with medication, light household tasks and errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are often 30–90 minutes, but you decide the length that suits you and your client.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency life — you should have at least one year of professional care experience and verifiable references. You must have the right to work in the UK and hold an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one. Insurance is included while you work through PrimeCarers.

How PrimeCarers supports you: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re on a visit. You remain self-employed and set your own hours and working area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Working in Teddington means short local journeys and the chance to cover nearby areas such as Strawberry Hill, Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, Ham, Twickenham and Eel Pie Island if you choose. Many carers find this locality gives a good mix of regular clients and one-off visits. You won’t be tied to rotas — you pick the shifts and the people you want to work with.
