Description
Looking for companionship carer work around Blair Atholl that fits your life and respects your experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who want company, conversation and reassurance — outings, hobbies, shared interests and a bit of light help around the home. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Blair Atholl and the surrounding area. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Companionship work typically includes spending time talking, reading, accompanying clients on short walks or social trips, supporting hobbies, and helping with small household tasks such as making drinks, light tidying and prompting medication where needed. It suits carers who enjoy emotional support and practical companionship rather than clinical or hands-on personal care.
This role is self-employed: you choose your clients, set your own rates and pick your hours and service area. Many carers set rates in the region of £15–£25 per hour depending on experience and duties. PrimeCarers finds local clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on caring.
Blair Atholl is well placed for visiting nearby communities such as Bridge of Tilt, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, Birnam, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Kingussie — you can decide how far you’ll travel. If you’re used to agency working but want more control, this is a straightforward alternative: pick the people you want to support and build relationships on your terms across Perthshire and Kinross.
- Who we’re looking for: carers with at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Checks and support: applicants need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have one.
- Commitment: these are ongoing self-employed roles, not a single placement — you decide how many hours you take on and when.
Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is quick; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Everything you need to start getting matched with people who value companionship in Blair Atholl is taken care of, while you remain fully in charge of your working pattern and rates.
