Private Carer Jobs in Motherwell

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed private carer providing hourly home care and daytime visits across Motherwell and nearby parts of North Lanarkshire. The role is about supporting people in their own homes with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or giving medication, running errands and offering companionship. You’ll work in familiar neighbourhoods, building relationships with the same clients over time.

Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts offer. On PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical rates fall in £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work.

Typical daytime, hourly home care tasks include:

• Personal care: washing, dressing and supporting mobility.
• Meals: preparing or reheating meals and supporting eating where needed.
• Medication: prompting or assisting with medicines according to the client’s care plan.
• Errands and appointments: shopping, collecting prescriptions and local trips.
• Companionship and records: providing company and keeping simple visit notes.

We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already work in Motherwell or nearby towns such as Hamilton, Bellshill, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Carluke and East Kilbride, you can map the area you want to serve and accept visits that fit your schedule.

PrimeCarers is designed for people who want to step away from agency rota pressures but keep practical support: you remain self-employed, set your own working pattern and decide which clients to accept. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re ready to work on your terms in Motherwell and across North Lanarkshire, create a profile and start choosing the clients and hours that suit you. You’ll find meaningful, flexible hourly care work close to home.
