Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Wadebridge

PrimeCarers is helping experienced carers around Wadebridge find regular hourly home care work supporting people in their own homes. This role focuses on daytime visits: personal care, help with meals, medication prompts, short errands and companionship for people who prefer to remain independent. Many carers work across Wadebridge and nearby communities in Cornwall, offering a flexible way to build reliable local work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This is ongoing self-employed work, not a one-off placement. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of hourly home care are £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can concentrate on care and local relationships in Wadebridge.

The kind of support you'll provide on daytime visits includes: helping with washing and dressing, supporting mobility and transfers, preparing light meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the client, shopping or collecting prescriptions, and spending time with someone who needs company. Visits are usually planned for short blocks across the day so you can balance other bookings or personal commitments in and around Wadebridge.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts typically allow. If you are used to person‑centred care, value continuity with clients and want to choose where and when you work, you might find this a good fit. Many carers who join PrimeCarers move from agency roles to working independently across Wadebridge, Padstow and other nearby towns such as Padstow, Bodmin, St Columb Major, Camelford, Lostwithiel and St Blazey.
