Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Upminster

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant in Upminster, providing daytime visits to support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. Work with adults who want respectful, practical help so they can stay independent where they feel safest. Right now, 126 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical day-to-day tasks include helping with washing and dressing, supporting with meal preparation, prompting and administering medication where trained, and running short errands or accompanying clients to appointments. Shifts are usually short daytime visits, and you decide which visits to accept. Many carers coming from agency work tell us they appreciate the variety and the chance to build longer relationships with families across Upminster and the surrounding area, including Upminster Bridge, Cranham, Hornchurch, Emerson Park, Elm Park and North Ockendon.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for these roles is around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and duties. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and we include insurance while you work. That administration support lets you focus on care, not paperwork.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who value flexibility and autonomy. You should have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t yet have one. We also expect professionalism, good communication and the ability to work safely and reliably in people’s homes across Upminster and the wider Havering area.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification your profile typically goes live within days. Once live you can start reviewing local bookings and choosing the visits that fit your week. We’ll support you with contracts, secure payments, and access to insurance cover while you’re working through the platform.

If you’re thinking of moving away from fixed rota agency work, PrimeCarers lets you keep the hands-on care you love while taking control of your hours, clients and earnings. Start with a simple profile and you’ll be ready to accept daytime hourly visits across Upminster and nearby communities in no time.
