Companion Carer Jobs in Coldstream

Companionship care in Coldstream is about company, conversation and reassurance. You would spend time chatting, joining clients on local walks, supporting hobbies, helping with light household tasks and being a familiar, friendly presence in someone’s day. Many families want someone reliable who offers calm, steady company rather than hands-on personal care. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships and keeping people connected to their community. On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and decide which visits you accept. Typical rates sit around £15–£25 per hour. Some carers list an hourly-care range of £15–£25 per hour and a live-in day range of £142.50–£160 per day to guide families, while still keeping full control over what they charge.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and takes care of the admin so you can focus on caring. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. 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 one if you don’t yet have it.

Coldstream is well placed for visits across the Scottish Borders and surrounding towns: many carers travel to nearby communities such as Kelso, Greenlaw, Duns, Wooler, Berwick upon Tweed and Eyemouth. Work can be short social calls, regular weekly visits, outings to appointments or activity sessions in the community. You won’t be tied to fixed rotas; instead you choose shifts that fit your life.

Applying takes minutes and your profile usually goes live within days of verification. There’s no central rota to fit and no manager setting your hourly rate — you decide what’s fair for your skills and time. The platform supports self-employed carers wanting to move away from agency life while keeping the security of contracts, clear invoicing and insured work.
