Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced companion carers in Banff and Macduff to offer friendly conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people whose main need is company and reassurance. You’ll spend time listening, encouraging interests and helping clients feel safer and less isolated in their own homes.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Companionship roles suit carers who enjoy conversation, short walks, supporting hobbies (reading, gardening, crafts, day trips), making light drinks or meals and providing reassurance during the day or evening. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Banff and Macduff and surrounding Aberdeenshire, including Macduff, Banff, Portsoy, Turriff, Cullen and Rosehearty. You pick the people you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and your profile can advertise the range you charge. Typical care rates are £15–£25 per hour and you choose the exact rate for each client. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on the relationship and the care, not the paperwork.
To join you’ll need at least one year of prior professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. We verify documents and references before your profile goes live so families can book with confidence.
Working this way is ideal if you’re ready to move away from agency rotas or want a simpler, more independent way of providing care in Banff and Macduff. You decide whether you want daytime visits, regular weekly calls, weekend companionship or longer live-in stays where appropriate. PrimeCarers supports the admin side: we handle client introductions, the contract terms and timely payments so you keep the flexibility without extra admin stress.
Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
