Visiting Carer Jobs in East Kilbride

Are you an experienced carer in East Kilbride looking to move away from agency constraints? PrimeCarers connects self-employed visiting carers with families across East Kilbride and South Lanarkshire for daytime hourly home care. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands, working the hours that suit you and the clients you choose. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visiting carer work includes helping with washing and dressing, supporting with mobility, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, and doing small errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are usually hourly daytime calls tailored to the client’s needs — you stay focused on direct care and companionship rather than office tasks.

This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want control over their working life. Many people join PrimeCarers after agency work because they want to set their own hours, pick the clients they work with and operate as self-employed professionals. You set your own rate within the local market using our simple profile system — typical rates are £18.80–£19.50 per hour — and choose your service area within and around East Kilbride, including calls into nearby towns like Rutherglen, Hamilton, Bellshill, Motherwell, Barrhead and Coatbridge.

PrimeCarers handles the behind-the-scenes so you can concentrate on care: we find clients, manage contracts, invoice and collect payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. Applying takes minutes and profiles usually go live within days of verification, so you can be matched and start taking bookings without lengthy waits.

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. We welcome carers across East Kilbride who are committed to professional, compassionate care and clear record-keeping. Being self-employed means you manage your tax and national insurance responsibilities yourself; PrimeCarers makes the commercial side easier but doesn’t change your status.
