Description
Private carers based in Laurencekirk are needed for daytime, hourly home care visits supporting people in their own homes. You will assist with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and small errands — the kind of hands‑on, practical support that helps people stay independent. You work as self‑employed, choose your clients and set the times that suit you. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Daily visits typically focus on personal care (washing, dressing and continence support), preparing meals and drinks, prompting or administering medication where required, and helping with shopping or short trips. Visits are usually hourly and flexible, so you can build a schedule around school runs, other work, or family life. Many carers on PrimeCarers set rates that reflect their experience and the level of care they provide. Typical rates for this type of work are in the range £15–£25 per hour.
This kind of independent, hourly home care in Laurencekirk suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts usually allow. If you’re used to delivering kind, reliable care and want to choose which families you work with and when, this could be a good fit. Carers on PrimeCarers also decide their service area — many work across Laurencekirk and neighbouring parts of Aberdeenshire, including Inverbervie, Montrose, Brechin, Red Cloak, Stonehaven and Banchory.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the administrative side: contracts, invoicing and payments are managed through the platform, and insurance is included while you’re working with a client. That means you can focus on care rather than chasing paperwork. You remain self‑employed, set your own hours and can accept or decline job requests as they come.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if you don’t already have it. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
