Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Lockerbie

Join PrimeCarers to offer hourly home care in Lockerbie and the surrounding communities. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands — daytime visits that help clients stay independent and comfortable. You choose who you work with, which hours to accept and the area you cover, while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Typical visits include helping with washing and dressing, preparing hot meals, supporting mobility around the home, prompting or administering medication according to instructions, and doing short shopping or prescription runs. Work tends to be daytime, short-block visits and regular hourly calls rather than live-in shifts, so this is a great fit if you prefer varied daytime work around Lockerbie.

PrimeCarers is aimed at experienced, caring professionals — people who want to move away from agency rotas and reclaim control of their working life. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. Many carers joining from agency backgrounds appreciate setting their own rate, choosing clients and building a reliable local diary.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. The typical range for hourly home care is £15–£25 per hour, and you can choose which hours and how many clients you take on. PrimeCarers includes insurance while you work, manages contracts and handles invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
