If you’re used to agency life but want to work differently, PrimeCarers lets experienced carers go self‑employed while we bring the clients. Carers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area, which is ideal if you want to work in Burntisland and around places like Kinghorn, Dalgety Bay, Kirkcaldy, Lochgelly, Cowdenbeath and Dysart. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.

Pay is flexible because you set your price, and many companion carers aim for rates in the range £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and duties. Typical ranges we show on the platform include £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £140.50–£160 per day for live‑in day rates; your actual rate is your decision. You’ll keep control over how many hours you take and which assignments fit your life.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles so families can trust who they invite into their home. Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be visible to local families in and around Burntisland very quickly.

Working through PrimeCarers suits carers who want meaningful companionship work without the usual agency rota: you pick the clients you want, agree the hours and keep the flexibility to balance other commitments. If you enjoy supporting people with conversation, short outings, hobbies and gentle reassurance, this is a straightforward way to make that your paid work in Burntisland.
