Visiting Carer Jobs in Gretna

We’re looking for experienced visiting carers in Gretna to support people who live at home across the town and the surrounding parts of Dumfries and Galloway. These daytime visits typically involve personal care, preparing meals, medication prompts and light errands — the sort of practical help that keeps people independent in their own homes. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide how wide an area you’ll cover. Many carers use their existing experience from agency or private work to build regular daytime rounds in Gretna and nearby areas such as Longtown, Annan, Smithfield, Carlisle, Langholm and Wigton. Typical pay sits around £19.20–£22 per hour, with clearer splits shown for different types of work: £19.20–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates where relevant.

What the role involves

• Personal care: assistance with washing, dressing and toileting, always delivered with respect and dignity.
• Meals & hydration: light meal preparation and support to ensure people eat and stay hydrated.
• Medication support: prompting or reminding clients to take medication on schedule.
• Errands & wellbeing: small shopping trips, post, or companionship to reduce isolation.

Who this suits

• Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their work.
• People comfortable working independently across Gretna and surrounding Dumfries and Galloway communities.
• Those who value the flexibility to pick clients, block hours or shorter daytime calls.

How PrimeCarers supports you

• We find clients and manage contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
• Insurance is included while you work on bookings arranged through the platform.
• If you need an Enhanced DBS check, PrimeCarers can help arrange one.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. The application takes only minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
