Description
Work as a self-employed private carer providing daytime hourly home care in and around Fortrose. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and short errands — the kind of hands-on, respectful help that keeps clients independent. You choose who you work for, when you work and how far you’ll travel.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical day-to-day visits may include help with washing and dressing, preparing or reheating meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the family, companionship and short trips to the shops or to local appointments. Work suits experienced carers who value continuity of care and want to build trusted relationships rather than short-term calls from an agency. Fortrose clients often prefer carers who can offer both practical support and calm reassurance.
Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Many carers in the area publish rates around £18.80–£20 per hour, but it’s up to you to choose the rate that reflects your skills and experience. You also choose your hours — daytime visits, block bookings or a mix that fits your life in Fortrose and the surrounding area including Invergordon, Cromarty, Inverness, Alness, Nairn and Dingwall.
What PrimeCarers does for you: We match you with families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less admin and more time for care. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline bookings as you wish. Applying takes minutes and verified profiles typically go live within days.
Who we’re looking for: To join you 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 this if you don’t have one to hand. We expect carers to be reliable, compassionate and able to work safely and respectfully in someone’s home.
How to apply: Create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit basic ID — the whole process takes minutes. Once your documents are verified your profile goes live and families in Fortrose can start finding you. You remain in control: pick the clients, hours and areas that suit you.
