Description

Do you enjoy company, conversation and helping someone stay connected to their community? PrimeCarers is looking for self-employed companionship carers in Clackmannan who can offer reassuring presence, friendly conversation, local outings and light help around the home. You’ll work with people who mainly need company and confidence-building support rather than clinical care. Many roles suit carers who want to move away from agency shifts while keeping flexible, meaningful work in and around Clackmannan and throughout Clackmannanshire.

There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical assignments include visiting clients for an hour or two to chat, supporting hobbies, taking someone out for shopping or a walk, preparing a light meal, or helping with small household tasks so a person can stay independent at home. You’ll choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — whether you prefer short daytime visits or longer companion sessions. Pay is set by you; typical rates for this kind of companionship work are £15–£25 per hour. For reference, PrimeCarers may show £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day work.

This work suits experienced carers who value relationship-based support. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single vacancy here — we connect self-employed carers across Clackmannan with families looking for ongoing companionship support. You remain self-employed, set your rates and retain control over which clients you accept.

  • What PrimeCarers does: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on bookings arranged through the platform.
