Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Wales

Work as a self‑employed hourly care assistant across Wales, focusing on daytime calls in people’s own homes in Ceredigion and beyond. You’ll support with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands, choosing the visits that suit your skills and life. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work in Wales. Visits are daytime, home‑based and typically last an hour or two; you’ll help people retain independence while doing practical tasks and providing companionship. You set your own rates, pick the clients you accept and decide your service area and hours. Typical rates are £15–£25 per hour.

What the work involves:

• Personal care – assistance with washing, dressing and mobility support where required.
• Meals and shopping – preparing meals, putting away shopping and running light errands.
• Medication – prompting clients to take prescribed medicines and recording visits as agreed.
• Practical support – helping with household tasks, companionship and keeping routines.

PrimeCarers handles the search for clients, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work through the platform. You remain fully self‑employed – you choose clients, set your rates and organise your diary. You could be matched with families across Ceredigion and nearby towns such as Llanwrtyd Wells, Tregaron, Llandovery, Lampeter, Builth Wells and Rhayader.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and start choosing bookings once verified.

If you’re ready to leave agency constraints and take charge of your hours and clients in Wales, this is a straightforward way to move into regular, local hourly care work while keeping the admin simple. Build the kind of care work you want, on your terms, and let PrimeCarers look after the bookings and paperwork.
