PrimeCarers connects you directly with families while you remain fully self-employed. You choose the clients you work with, the hours you accept and your service area, and you set your own rates. Typical pay is within £15–£25 per hour depending on the type of respite and whether you provide live-in support or short hourly cover. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

This kind of work suits carers who prefer variety and control. You might pick up single evening sits, regular weekend cover, or block respite of a few days when a family needs a longer break. You’ll use your professional judgement, clear communication and kindness — experience in personal care, moving and handling, dementia or end-of-life care is highly relevant. Many of our carers appreciate the balance of short, focused shifts and the ability to accept longer bookings when they suit.

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 two verifiable references. We ask for clear documentation during verification so your profile can be trusted by families across Brechin, and nearby towns including Montrose, Letham, Laurencekirk, Forfar, Arbroath and Kirriemuir.

Sign-up takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be clearly introduced as a self-employed respite carer on the platform; families contact you through PrimeCarers and we support the contractual and payment side so you can focus on care. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over your hours and clients, PrimeCarers lets you keep doing the work you love with fewer admin headaches.
