Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Kinglassie

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Kinglassie who need daytime, hourly home care. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and local errands — the day-to-day help that keeps someone independent and comfortable. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than one specific role. You choose which clients to accept, which hours to work and the area you cover in Kinglassie and beyond. Many carers who switch from agencies value the flexibility and control: you can set your own rate, accept the visits that suit you, and plan your week around life outside work. Typical pay sits in and around £15–£25 per hour for hourly care, but because you set your own rate you decide what’s fair for your skills and travel.

PrimeCarers reduces the paperwork. We find families for you, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a booked visit. That means you keep the hands-on care you enjoy while we deal with the admin that used to eat into your time.

• Who this suits: experienced carers who want daytime, hourly visits; those who prefer short calls or blocks of time helping with washing, dressing, meals, medication prompts, companionship and errands in Kinglassie and nearby communities such as Pitcoudie, Collydean, Ballingry, Glenrothes, Lochgelly and Markinch.
• Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• How it fits into your life: pick a few regular clients, top up with one-off visits, or build a diary of daytime hours — the choice is yours. PrimeCarers makes it easy to keep a clear schedule and get paid promptly.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. You’ll remain self-employed: you set your rates, choose clients and manage your working pattern. PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, contracts and invoicing so you can focus on care in Kinglassie and across Fife.

If you’re an experienced carer thinking about a change from agency work — wanting more control, clearer pay and less admin — this could be a good next step. Create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and start choosing the visits that suit you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and many carers find their first bookings quickly.
