Respite care on PrimeCarers is about helping family carers get a reliable break while you provide compassionate support: companionship, personal care, medication prompts, meal support and short stays in clients’ homes. Roles are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off placements, so you can build recurring bookings that fit around family life or other work. You’ll find work in Dalgety Bay itself and around townships such as Inverkeithing, North Queensferry, Rosyth, Queensferry, Dunfermline and Burntisland, making short trips straightforward.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically work within £18.80–£19.20 per hour depending on experience and service. Typical care-only hourly ranges and live-in day ranges are shown as £18.80–£19.20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. Because you’re self-employed you control how much you take on and when.

PrimeCarers makes running your own care work simpler: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less admin for you and more time doing what you do best. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references, you’re the kind of carer families want. This role especially suits experienced carers ready to move away from agency duty rotas and toward predictable, chosen shifts in Dalgety Bay where you can deliver quality short-term support.

How to get started: complete a short online profile, upload your documents and references, and choose the types of respite work you want. You remain self-employed, pick your clients, set your hours and manage your availability. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
