Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Wincanton

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Wincanton and the surrounding area for daytime visiting care. These are hourly home care opportunities helping people with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — short daytime visits and longer calls to suit local needs. You’ll work directly with families, set your own approach and bring the experience you already have. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits carers who value flexibility and want to move away from agency routines. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — many carers list within £19.20–£22.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds suitable clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

Typical daytime duties include:

• Assisting with personal care such as washing, dressing and continence support;
• Preparing meals and helping with eating where needed;
• Medication prompting and record-keeping as agreed with the client;
• Shopping, collecting prescriptions and light errands to support independence.

Who this will suit: experienced carers used to hands-on home care, those looking for more control over their working life, and carers who want to build local relationships in Wincanton, nearby villages and across Somerset. If you prefer to pick visits that fit your day and know your work makes a direct difference, this is for you.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you don’t already have one. You must be self-employed to use the platform.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by taking care of the admin: finding clients, issuing contracts, managing invoices and processing payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you are working with a family introduced through PrimeCarers.

We work across Wincanton and into nearby towns such as Blackford, Bruton, Castle Cary, Stalbridge, Mere and Sherborne, and profiles typically go live within days once verified. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and you’ll be ready to choose the visits that suit you.
