If you’re used to agency routines but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you work as a self-employed carer and choose your own clients, hours and service area across Stoneyburn and nearby communities. You set your own rates and accept the bookings that fit your life. Many carers who join from agencies appreciate the freedom to focus on companionship visits rather than ticking lots of clinical boxes. You can accept short regular calls, afternoon visits for tea and a chat, or longer sessions for outings in and around Stoneyburn and wider West Lothian, including Whitburn, Bathgate, Armadale, Blackridge, Livingston and East Calder.

Typical pay falls in the range £18.80–£20 per hour. You decide the rate for each booking within that framework, and for reference many carers consider £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly visits or £142–£160 per day for live-in day rates when the role is mainly companionship. PrimeCarers handles client-finding, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care, and insurance is included while you work.

What you need to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

PrimeCarers also supports the practical side: we manage contracts, take care of billing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re on a booking. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start hearing about companionship opportunities in Stoneyburn quickly. If you want a kinder, steadier pace of care work with more control over your time and clients, this could be the change you’ve been looking for in Stoneyburn and the rest of West Lothian.
