Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed hourly care assistant offering daytime visits across Towcester. You’ll provide personal care, help with meals, support with medication and run errands for people who want to stay independent in their own homes. Work fits around your life: short, reliable daytime calls rather than round‑the‑clock duties — ideal if you want to move away from agency rota pressure and keep clinical, compassionate care at the centre of what you do.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own terms. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover in Towcester and beyond. PrimeCarers finds clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers find this model gives more control over work/life balance while keeping hands‑on, meaningful work.

Typical day‑to‑day duties for hourly home care include assisting with washing and dressing, helping prepare meals, prompting or administering medication (as agreed), and doing shopping or appointments. Visits are daytime and hourly, so you can plan your day and avoid permanent night or live‑in commitments. Typical rates are often in the range £18.80–£21 per hour depending on experience and local demand.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want the freedom to manage their diary and income without agency shifts. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), and verifiable references. Bring your professional judgment, compassion and a steady approach to personal care; we’ll support the admin side so you can focus on clients.

  • Apply in minutes. Complete a simple profile and tell us about your experience and availability.
  • Verification done quickly. We check DBS, references and right to work — profiles typically go live within days of verification.
  • Choose where you work. Cover Towcester, nearby areas and towns such as Grange Park, Stony Stratford, Northampton, Wolverton and Greenleys, Buckingham and Brackley.

PrimeCarers connects you with families looking for reliable, personable daytime hourly care across Northamptonshire and the surrounding towns.
