Work in Kirriemuir and the surrounding parts of Angus, offering visits that fit around your life. You set the level of involvement: short calls, hour-long visits, specialist dementia support or longer live-in days — and you set your own rates as a self-employed carer. Typical roles on the platform fall into the range £19.50–£20 per hour, with common hourly and live-in brackets of £19.50–£20 per hour and £140–£160 per day respectively. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

This kind of work suits carers who bring at least a year of professional care experience and a calm, patient approach. You’ll do best if you enjoy building routine, using non-pharmacological approaches where appropriate, and working closely with families to maintain familiar surroundings. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are looking to move away from agency shifts in search of more continuity of care and the chance to tailor support to each person’s history and needs.

Requirements to join are straightforward: a minimum of 1 year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly, and most carers go live within days of passing checks. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your basic documents and references, and you’re on your way.

You’re free to choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. Cover Kirriemuir and nearby towns such as Forfar, Letham, Coupar Angus, Brechin, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Monifieth, or focus on just a few households. PrimeCarers supports you with client introduction, a clear contract for each arrangement, invoicing and payments, and insurance cover while you are working, so you can concentrate on the care.
