Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed companion carers with families in Boness and the surrounding area. This is for carers who enjoy conversation, outings, hobbies and light support around the home — the kind of reassuring company that helps someone stay independent and happy. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care on PrimeCarers typically includes regular chats over tea, accompanying clients on local walks or appointments, supporting hobbies and light household help such as making meals, light tidying and prompting medication. Work is about presence, reassurance and enabling everyday life rather than clinical procedures. Many carers in Boness also support people who live nearby in Borrowstounness, Linlithgow, Grangemouth, Kincardine, Grahamston and Dunfermline and across Falkirk council areas.
As a self-employed carer you choose who you work with, where and when. You set your own rates and availability and can list the services you offer. Typical pay for companion care falls in the range £18.50–£20 per hour, with more detail available for hourly work (£18.50–£20 per hour) and live-in days (£140.50–£160 per day). PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on care.
This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to move away from agency rota pressure. You’ll build ongoing relationships rather than short shifts; many carers tell us they prefer being able to shape a timetable that fits family life or other commitments. If you want quieter mornings, regular afternoon visits or a few long weekend calls, you can list that in your profile and pick suitable clients in Boness and nearby towns.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify documents so profiles typically go live within days once everything’s checked. Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and availability, then submit references and checks.
