PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families across Elgin and the wider Moray area. Carers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area — typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour and many roles fall within £15–£25 per hour for hourly care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This kind of hourly home care is ideal if you want flexibility and control. You might do two short daytime visits, three longer personal‑care calls, or a mix across mornings and afternoons. Tasks commonly include helping with washing and dressing, preparing hot meals, supporting medication prompts, light domestic tasks and accompanying people to appointments or the shops. If you’re used to agency rounds but want to pick the hours and clients that suit you, PrimeCarers offers that choice in Elgin and nearby towns like Lossiemouth, Forres, Buckie, Keith, Dufftown and Cullen.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. You’ll work as a self‑employed carer, so you decide which jobs to accept and when to work.

How it works is straightforward: create a profile, show your experience and references, complete verification and say which parts of Elgin and Moray you’ll cover. Once approved, families can contact you directly and PrimeCarers supports the admin side — contracts, payments and insurance are taken care of. Many carers join to move away from rigid rotas while keeping the hands‑on care they enjoy.
