PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can move from agency shifts to independent live-in work quickly. Many carers covering Maud also take assignments across nearby towns such as Ellon, Rosehearty, Clerkhill, Turriff, Fraserburgh and Peterhead when they want short travel windows between placements.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check these before your profile goes live so families can trust who they invite into their home. You remain self-employed at all times and are responsible for your own tax and National Insurance arrangements.
