Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Barrhead

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed carers in Barrhead to provide hourly home care — daytime visits supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. Work suits skilled carers who want to keep close, consistent relationships with clients in Barrhead and across East Renfrewshire while choosing their own hours and neighbourhoods. Right now, 18 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day you might be visiting a few local clients for 30 minute or hour-long visits, helping with personal care, preparing meals, prompting medication and dropping off shopping or post. You decide the level of care you provide and which clients you accept. Many carers coming from agency backgrounds value the clearer handovers, continuity of care and the chance to work more directly with families in Barrhead.

Pay and flexibility
You set your own rate as a self-employed carer — typical bookings for roles like this sit in the range £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client.

Who this suits

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their working week.
• People who prefer daytime visits and predictable rounds rather than long live-in shifts.
• Carers who want to work locally in Barrhead and nearby towns such as Paisley, Johnstone, Kilbarchan, Rutherglen, Clydebank and East Kilbride.

Basic requirements to join

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