Description

Are you an experienced carer in Duniplace looking for companionship work that suits your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with local families who want conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — reassurance and company rather than clinical care. You choose the clients, hours and the area you’ll cover in and around Duniplace.
Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship roles typically involve spending time with someone over tea and chat, supporting walks and local outings, encouraging hobbies, reading, playing games, or helping with light household tasks such as putting the washing on, preparing snacks or gentle tidying. Many people want someone reliable to visit for an hour or two; others look for longer daytime company or occasional weekend support. Work is ongoing self-employed opportunities — not one fixed post — so you can build regular relationships with the people you choose to support in Duniplace and nearby towns like Denny, Bonnybridge, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Carron and Grahamston.

Pay is set by you. Typical rates for this type of role range from £18.80–£20 per hour, with options for different hourly and live-in arrangements depending on the client. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £140.50–£160 per day to help you decide what to charge. Many carers who move from agency work value the flexibility: pick shifts that fit family life, avoid late-night rota changes and keep the hours you want in Falkirk and Duniplace.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and taking care of the paperwork. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work through the platform. That means you stay independent but don’t have to manage every admin detail on your own.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. If you already have these in place, applying takes minutes. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable client requests quickly.
