Visiting Carer Jobs in Loanhead

Are you an experienced carer in Loanhead who wants to move away from agency rota pressures and work more on your own terms? PrimeCarers connects self-employed visiting carers with families needing daytime, hourly home care — helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands in clients' own homes around Loanhead and nearby towns.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits are daytime, short to medium length, and focus on practical, compassionate support: helping someone get washed and dressed, preparing or supporting with meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed, and running small errands like shopping or post. You’ll generally be working in people’s homes across Loanhead and the surrounding Midlothian area, including Dalkeith, Penicuik, Musselburgh, Vauxhall, Prestonpans and Tranent. This work suits carers who value continuity and building relationships with the same clients.

PrimeCarers is built for people who want to be self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you take on. Many carers on the platform list their rates within £18.80–£19.20 per hour for visiting daytime care, but you decide what you charge. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care.

The role is a good fit if you already have hands-on experience and want more control over your working life in Loanhead. You’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience (paid or formal care roles)
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent employers or clients

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and then you can start selecting local daytime visits in Loanhead that fit your schedule. You remain self-employed at all times and free to accept or decline any client offered through the platform.
