On PrimeCarers you work as a self‑employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for these roles is £19.20–£20 per hour and many carers opt to list £19.20–£20 per hour for straightforward hourly visits or £140–£160 per day for longer day cover. If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this is a different way of working without having to find clients yourself.
Daytime hourly visits in Leuchars and across Fife usually involve helping people with personal care, meal prep, medication prompts, light household tasks and short trips out or errands. The work suits experienced carers who enjoy one‑to‑one time, steady routines and the chance to build relationships with families. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience and the right to work in the UK, plus verifiable references.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can get on with caring. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed and in control of your diary, but you don’t have to run every part of the business alone. We can also help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.
Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once approved you can pick the visits that suit you, set travel limits and accept clients across Leuchars or into nearby towns such as St Andrews, Woodhaven, Tayport, Newport on Tay, Wormit and Cupar. Many carers make this change to keep the hands‑on work they love while reducing the admin and rota surprises agency life can bring.
If you want daytime, hourly home care in Leuchars and across Fife, and you meet the basic checks (one year’s experience, Enhanced DBS, right to work and references), creating a profile is the next step.
