Visiting Carer Jobs in Lauder

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Lauder and the wider Scottish Borders who need daytime visiting support. These roles are hourly home care visits helping clients in their own homes with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or giving medication, shopping and errands, and practical companionship. The work suits carers who want variety, genuine one-to-one time with clients and the chance to choose who they work for. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own terms: you choose your clients, the hours you accept and the area you cover in and around Lauder. Carers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical rates for this kind of visiting care appear as £18.80–£19.60 per hour. PrimeCarers finds matches for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on shifts arranged through the platform.

This is an ongoing opportunity to build a local visiting-care caseload rather than a single role. Many carers who join from agency work value the control over rota and client choice, while keeping the administrative work to a minimum. You can accept short daytime calls, longer personal-care visits or repeat bookings depending on what fits your life in Lauder.

Requirements to join are straightforward and important for families: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t invent client details or promise incomes — you remain in control as a self-employed carer choosing the work you want.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your ID and references, and complete any verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can begin receiving booking enquiries quickly. You’ll often find work close to Lauder and in nearby towns such as Earlston, Galashiels, Melrose, Newtown St Boswells, Greenlaw and Selkirk. If you value flexible daytime visiting care, keeping more of what you earn by setting your own rates, and less admin, PrimeCarers can help you make that change.
