Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Dalgety Bay

If you’re an experienced carer in Dalgety Bay looking for flexible daytime work, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families who need hourly home care. The role focuses on short daytime visits helping clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Daytime, hourly care suits carers who value autonomy. You’ll be arranging visits that fit around your life — school runs, other caring responsibilities or part-time commitments — and building steady, local relationships with people in Dalgety Bay and surrounding parts of Fife. Typical rates are in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and, as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers, you set your own rate, choose your clients, hours and the area you work in.

On a typical daytime visit you might help with personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), prepare or support meals, remind or administer medication as agreed with the family, and run small errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. The work is about practical support and companionship rather than clinical procedures.

This opportunity is aimed at experienced carers who want more control than agency work often allows. 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 verifiable references. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Many of the families you’ll meet are within easy reach of Dalgety Bay; you can also choose to accept clients in nearby towns such as Inverkeithing, North Queensferry, Rosyth, Queensferry, Dunfermline and Burntisland. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matched quickly if there’s a good fit.

Why carers choose PrimeCarers: you keep control of your working life, take on the daytime visits you want, and avoid the constant admin that usually comes with self-employment. We handle the paperwork and payments, leaving you to focus on delivering reliable, compassionate care in people’s homes across Dalgety Bay and the wider Fife area.
