Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Wareham

Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed hourly care assistant in Wareham and provide daytime visits that make a real difference.

Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rate and pick the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers move from agency work to enjoy more control over day‑to‑day life while keeping the security of having bookings handled for them. PrimeCarers finds clients, draws up contracts, invoices on your behalf and takes care of payments — plus insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.

The work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and straightforward paperwork. You’ll spend time building relationships during daytime visits — helping with washing, dressing, continence support, preparing meals, supporting mobility, prompting medication and running errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are based in clients’ homes across Wareham and the surrounding area, including Swanage, Wimborne Minster, Blandford Forum, Ferndown, Dorchester and Christchurch.

Pay is decided by you. Many carers set rates in the market range of £19–£25 per hour; typical ranges for different kinds of work appear here as a guide: £19–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. Those figures are illustrative; you remain free to set the level you feel reflects your experience and skills.

The essentials to join are simple and verifiable:

• Experience: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it.
• Right to work: valid right to work in the UK.
• References: verifiable references from recent care roles.
