Description

Work as an hourly care assistant in Upton, supporting people to stay independent at home. These daytime visits focus on personal care, preparing meals, administering medication reminders and running small errands — the kind of hands-on, respectful support many families in Upton and across Halton are looking for. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

You’ll be self-employed, pick the clients you work with and set your own availability and service area. Daytime hourly care roles here typically span personal care, companionship, light domestic help and support with meals and medication. Most carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and the typical range is £18.50–£20 per hour for this kind of work. You may find shifts close to home in Upton or in nearby towns such as Wallasey, Hoylake, Birkenhead, Heswall, Bebington and Liverpool.

This way of working suits somebody who has genuine hands-on care experience, wants more control than agency life often allows, and prefers working directly with families while PrimeCarers handles the admin. You decide which visits to accept, what travel you’re willing to do and how many hours each week you take on.

PrimeCarers supports you — we find you clients, prepare contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a booked visit. That means less paperwork for you and clearer payments from families.

What we need from you:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience and verifiable references.
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed.

There’s no single advertised shift here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Upton and the Halton area. You won’t be tied to a rota set by someone else; instead you choose the hours and clients that suit you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable local requests quickly.
