Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Rosyth

If you already work as a carer and want more control over your day-to-day, PrimeCarers helps self-employed carers connect directly with families in Rosyth and across Fife. You’ll deliver daytime hourly home care visits — helping people with personal care, meals, medication prompts and small errands — and choose the clients and hours that suit you. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing stream of self-employed opportunities, not a single post. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly visits, and because carers set their own rates you decide what you charge to reflect your experience and availability. You choose your service area and can accept work across Rosyth and nearby towns such as Inverkeithing, North Queensferry, Dunfermline, Dalgety Bay, Queensferry and Cowdenbeath.

What the role looks like day-to-day:

• Short daytime visits — 30 minutes to a few hours helping with personal care, dressing, washing, meal prep and companionship.
• Medication support — prompting or helping clients to take medication where appropriate, following care instructions.
• Practical errands — shopping, posting letters or light domestic tasks as agreed with the family.
• Relationship-led care — building rapport with people using your skills, patience and professionalism.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to leave agency-style constraints behind while keeping the practical support you need: PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care and on setting the hours and clients that suit your life.

Who this suits

• Experienced care assistants with at least one year of professional care experience.
• Carers who want flexibility — to work mornings, afternoons or block days — and to set their own rates and service area in Rosyth and Fife.
• People who can supply verifiable references and have the right to work in the UK.

Requirements to join: at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be accepting visits quickly if you want.
