This kind of work suits experienced carers who value predictable daytime visits and one-to-one support. Many carers move to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want greater control over how they work and who they visit. Typical roles are hourly home care visits during the day; you can set your own rates and availability to fit family life or other commitments. Rates commonly sit within £18.80–£20 per hour, with hourly and live-in ranges shown on the platform as £18.80–£20 per hour and £144–£160 per day respectively.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of the paperwork: we handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work on assignments we introduce. You remain self-employed, so you invoice through your profile and choose the jobs that suit you across Queensferry and nearby areas. Many carers cover parts of Edinburgh for regular daytime visits as well as the towns around the Forth.

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. You’ll create a short profile, upload documents and add your preferred hours and service area. Applying takes minutes and, once your documents are verified, profiles typically go live within days — ready for families in Queensferry and beyond to contact you.
