Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced companionship carers in Bridge of Tilt who want ongoing, self-employed work supporting older people who mainly need company, reassurance and light help at home. Typical companionship care includes conversation, shared hobbies, trips into town or the countryside, and gentle household support rather than personal care tasks. This page advertises ongoing opportunities across the Bridge of Tilt area and nearby communities rather than one specific placement.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
This role suits someone who enjoys spending time with people, encouraging hobbies and offering calm, dependable company. If you value long chats over a cuppa, accompanying walks around the village or helping a client with letter writing, you’ll fit well. Many carers moving from agency work tell us they prefer the continuity and relationships they build here in Bridge of Tilt and across Perthshire and Kinross.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can accept only the bookings that suit you and build a rounded companionship service tailored to each person’s interests and routines.
Pay varies because carers set their rates, but typical rates for this kind of companionship care are £15–£25 per hour. You might combine short daytime visits, regular weekly calls or longer outings depending on what clients need and what you choose to offer. Because you set the hours, this work can fit around childcare, another job or seasonal commitments.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We’ll guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly and you can start connecting with families in and around Bridge of Tilt.
