Description

Work as a visiting carer in Portsoy, supporting people at home with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands during daytime visits. These roles suit experienced carers who want to keep hands-on work with clients while taking control of when and where they work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can cover Portsoy and surrounding communities such as Cullen, Banff, Macduff, Banff and Macduff, Buckie and Turriff. Typical pay for visiting daytime care is in the range £15–£25 per hour and you decide what to charge within that. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, plus insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.

The kind of work is daytime visiting care in people’s own homes. Tasks commonly include assisting with washing and dressing, continence support where required, preparing meals, helping with medication prompts (not clinical medication administration), light domestic tasks and shopping or errand runs. Visits can be short calls or longer blocks depending on the client's needs and what you agree with them.

This way of working suits carers who have at least a year of professional care experience and want more control than traditional agency shifts offer. Many carers moving to PrimeCarers appreciate the flexibility to accept only the clients and times that fit their life, and to build ongoing relationships in Portsoy and across Aberdeenshire.

  • Requirements to join: a minimum of 1 year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
  • How it works: create a profile, choose clients and set your hours and rates, then accept bookings that suit you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re ready to move away from fixed rota agency life and take greater control of your working week in Portsoy, creating a profile is straightforward. You’ll stay self-employed, set your own terms and keep the hands-on care you enjoy while PrimeCarers supports the back-office tasks. Apply now — it only takes a few minutes to start.
