Companion Carer Jobs in Biggar

Companionship care in Biggar is about being present, listening and helping a person get the most out of each day.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Many families in Biggar and across South Lanarkshire are looking for reliable, friendly people to provide this companionship. You might spend time over a cup of tea, joining a local walk, helping with letters and shopping, or supporting creative activities at home. Work is typically flexible and based around regular visits rather than medical tasks. You could cover Biggar and nearby towns such as Lanark, Peebles, Carluke, Stoneyburn, Innerleithen and Whitburn.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates are £19.50–£21.30 per hour; many carers find their clients prefer the transparency of a local hourly arrangement (see £19.50–£21.30 per hour for typical hourly-care guidance, and £142.50–£160 per day for live-in day ranges).

PrimeCarers takes care of matching you with clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments — and we include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on the relationship with the person you care for, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: experienced, compassionate carers who want more control than traditional agency work. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references, you’re ready to apply. Many people switching to self-employed companion work value predictable local hours, the chance to build lasting relationships in Biggar, and the ability to choose clients who fit their skills and interests.

How to get started: create a profile, upload your documents, and complete verification. You remain in control — choose the visits you accept and the times you work. PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, secure payments and ongoing admin so you can get back to caring in the way you prefer.

If you’re based in Biggar or nearby and want more freedom in how you work while still having admin and insurance support, apply now — it really does take minutes to get started and your profile can be live in days.
