Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families across Callander and the surrounding area. This role is about conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people whose main need is company and reassurance. You’ll be free to choose who you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship work in Callander often includes spending time over a cup of tea, supporting short local walks, helping with hobbies such as gardening or reading, running small errands and offering practical reassurance. It suits experienced carers who enjoy conversation, are patient, reliable and happy to spend sustained time building rapport rather than delivering heavy personal care. Many clients prefer regular visits that focus on company, memory prompts and outings into the town or nearby countryside.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your bookings. Typical rates for this kind of role are £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments on your behalf, and provides insurance while you work. You choose your working area in and around Callander and can accept or decline requests from Doune, Dunblane, Bridge of Allan, Comrie, Menstrie, Tullibody and other nearby places including Stirling. Use your local knowledge to match with households that suit you.
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. You’ll remain self-employed and free to work how you prefer — many carers coming from agency work find this model gives them more control over time, clients and income.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers supports the admin so you can focus on the care: we introduce clients, manage contracts and payments, and provide insurance while you are on duty.
