PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companion carers with local families in and around Auchterarder who mainly need company, reassurance and help with everyday life.

Companionship work here is about being present: friendly conversation, trips to the shops or the park, supporting hobbies like gardening or crafts, and small domestic tasks to keep a home comfortable. Most people need company and reassurance more than clinical care, so patience, warmth and a steady presence matter most. This role suits experienced carers who enjoy social interaction and flexible hours — particularly those based in Auchterarder and nearby towns such as Crieff, Tillicoultry, Alva, Bridge of Earn, Menstrie and Perth in Perthshire and Kinross.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed. That means you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for companion care range from £15–£25 per hour. For reference, typical ranges you might see on the platform include £15–£25 per hour for hourly visits and £140–£160 per day for live‑in days, but you decide what to charge. PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments — and you’re covered by insurance while you work.

We ask for a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify these quickly so your profile can go live fast. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically appear within days of verification.

If you’re based in Auchterarder and want more control over your working life, this is a straightforward way to keep doing the work you love while choosing when and where you work. You’ll meet local families who value companionship over clinical tasks and build ongoing relationships rooted in trust and respect.
