Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Newtown St Boswells

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant in Newtown St Boswells and offer daytime visits that help people stay independent at home. The work typically includes personal care, preparing meals, prompting or supporting with medication and running small errands — all delivered in clients' own homes across Newtown St Boswells and the wider Scottish Borders.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than a single shift or post. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you best; many carers working through PrimeCarers charge within £15–£25 per hour for similar hourly home care. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care.

Hourly home care suits experienced carers who value variety and local daytime work. Typical visits are focussed, often 30 minutes to a few hours, helping with washing, dressing, meals, medication prompts and small shopping or appointments. If you already work around Melrose, Galashiels or Jedburgh, Newtown St Boswells is well placed for regular daytime visits to neighbours in the area and nearby towns like Melrose, Earlston, Galashiels, Selkirk, Jedburgh and Kelso.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. PrimeCarers supports carers at every step: we check documents, confirm references and verify your profile so it can go live. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Working through PrimeCarers is a good fit if you want the control of self-employment but prefer not to handle every piece of admin. You choose the hours you accept, keep clear records of visits, and invoice through the platform while PrimeCarers manages client agreements and payments. Many carers moving on from agency routines find the flexibility valuable and the work rewarding across Newtown St Boswells.
