This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Jedburgh and the Scottish Borders — not a single advertised post. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical live-in work is reflected in £142.50–£160 per day and you can agree hourly or day rates that suit you and the family.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who want flexibility and more control than agency shifts allow. Live-in roles suit people comfortable living in someone else’s home, able to balance personal time with the shared responsibility of continuous care, and who value building longer-term relationships.

PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you are working on placements. You remain self-employed throughout: you agree terms directly with the family and set the rate that reflects your experience. Many carers from outside the Scottish Borders travel to Jedburgh for live-in roles, and we also commonly place carers in nearby towns such as Newtown St Boswells, Hawick, Kelso, Melrose, Selkirk and Earlston.
How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. You’ll upload ID and references, book any DBS support if needed, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. After that you can message families, agree terms and start accepted placements.
