Companion Carer Jobs in Dunbar

If you enjoy conversation, company and supporting people to stay connected with their interests, companion care in Dunbar could suit you. These roles focus on companionship: shared tea and chat, local outings, supporting hobbies, and light help around the home for people whose main need is company and reassurance. Carers work with people in Dunbar and the surrounding East Lothian area, choosing who they support and when. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This platform connects self-employed carers with families looking for reliable companionship. You set your own terms — choose clients, hours and service area — and pick the visits you want. Many carers on PrimeCarers set rates in the typical range of £15–£25 per hour, and you remain in control of your diary while keeping the work you enjoy.

PrimeCarers finds potential clients and manages the administrative side so you can concentrate on caring. We handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. You will still be self-employed: that means flexibility and autonomy without having to organise every part of the business yourself.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer conversation-led support over personal-care-only shifts; people who value building friendships with those they support; and carers looking to move away from agency routines into more flexible, predictable work in and around Dunbar. You may already travel between nearby towns such as North Berwick, Haddington, Ballencrieff, Anstruther, Pittenweem and Duns — you can set the area you cover.

Joining is straightforward. Requirements to create a profile include at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Dunbar and East Lothian rather than a single posted role. If you’re ready to keep doing the work you love but with more control over your time and rates, create your profile to get started. Many carers find the combination of flexible hours, meaningful companionship work and simple admin support gives them the best of both worlds.
