Description

Want to work as an hourly care assistant in Scone, supporting people at home with personal care, meals, medication and errands? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Scone and the surrounding area so you can choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is hourly home care—daytime visits to help people stay independent in their own homes. Typical tasks include personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, shopping or running errands and offering companionship. Visits vary in length and frequency; you’ll discuss needs directly with each family and accept only the work you want.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want more control than an agency. You set your own rates and working pattern as a self-employed carer, and many workers use £15–£25 per hour as a guide when setting their hourly fees. You also choose your clients, your hours and how far you’ll travel—there are opportunities across Scone and into Perthshire and Kinross, and near towns such as Perth, Bridge of Earn, Coupar Angus, Auchtermuchty, Birnam and Blairgowrie and Rattray.

We make the admin manageable. PrimeCarers finds family clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on booked visits. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who want more flexibility and straightforward support without giving up the practical safeguards of working through a trusted platform. If you’re used to agency shifts but want to take charge of your rates and routine, this role could be a better fit.

Requirements to join are clear and simple: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it). You’ll register as self-employed and manage your own tax and NI obligations, while we support the client matching, contracting and payment process.

Ready to take control of your care work in Scone? Creating a PrimeCarers profile takes just a few minutes. Once your references and checks are verified, your profile can go live in days, and you can start choosing the daytime visits that fit your life and skills.
