Companionship Carer Jobs in Dundee

Are you an experienced carer in Dundee who enjoys conversation, outings and helping someone stay connected to their community? Companionship care on PrimeCarers is about being the friendly, reassuring presence clients rely on — sharing hobbies, going for short walks, helping with small jobs around the home and offering company when it matters most. You’ll work directly with families across Dundee and nearby towns such as Newport on Tay, Woodhaven, Wormit, Tayport, Monifieth and Leuchars.

On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rates, choose your clients, and pick the hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates fall in the range £19.20–£20 per hour, and many carers find the flexibility lets them balance caring with family or other commitments.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of role suits carers who like spending time listening, encouraging conversation and supporting everyday activities rather than delivering clinical tasks. You might already be working for an agency and want more control over who you visit and when. Companionship shifts often include afternoon tea visits, supporting a hobby, accompanying a client to appointments or local cafés, and light domestic help such as making a drink, preparing a snack or tidying up. You’ll be valued for patience, reliability and a warm, calm manner.

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to be self-employed without the usual admin headaches. We find families for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you’re working. You remain in control: accept only the clients and bookings you want, and arrange your diary around other commitments.

To join, you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. The application takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start meeting local families quickly.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and build more satisfying, flexible companionship work in Dundee, we’d love to hear from you. Create a profile, tell us about your experience and availability, and start choosing the clients who fit your skills and interests.
