Description
If you're an experienced carer in Brechin looking to move away from agency routines, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families who need daytime hourly home care visits. You’ll be helping clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands, while staying self-employed and in control of the work you take on. You choose your clients, hours and service area — and you set your own rates.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.Typical pay on the platform is £15–£25 per hour, and many carers work regular daytime shifts across Brechin and the surrounding area. Our site focuses on hourly home care: short visits that fit around family life and give clients the practical support they need during the day. You may cover local routes within Angus and beyond, including nearby towns such as Montrose, Letham, Laurencekirk, Forfar, Arbroath and Kirriemuir.
This type of role suits experienced carers who value continuity, real relationships and flexibility. You’ll be doing hands-on, person-centred support: assisting with washing and dressing, meal prep and support with eating, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the family, and running light errands such as shopping or pharmacy collections. If you’re used to agency work but want more say over who you support and when, this could be a good next step.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work through the platform. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Once verified, families in Brechin and the surrounding communities will be able to contact you directly through the platform. You remain self-employed throughout and free to accept the assignments that fit your life.
