Companion Carer Jobs in Eyemouth

Companionship care in Eyemouth is about being present, offering conversation, joining outings, supporting hobbies and doing light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who enjoy building friendships, boosting confidence and helping people stay connected to their community. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area around Eyemouth and the wider Scottish Borders. Many carers set their own rates, so you control what you earn; typical rates for companion roles sit around £15–£25 per hour depending on the needs of the person you support and the hours you agree. You can offer regular visits, afternoon calls, hobby sessions or days out — whatever fits your skills and the client’s preferences.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer more autonomy than traditional agency routes. You’ll spend time chatting, sharing activities, accompanying people on local trips, helping with small household tasks and offering reassurance. You’ll also be able to work in nearby towns such as Berwick upon Tweed, Duns, Coldstream, Greenlaw, Dunbar and Wooler, broadening the range of matches available to you.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed: you set your rates and accept the clients and hours that suit you. Typical pay references you'll see include an hourly-care range of £15–£25 per hour and live-in day ranges of £142.50–£160 per day — these are illustrative and depend on the work you agree with each family.

To join we ask for at least one year of recent professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be ready to take bookings quickly while staying in control of your diary.

If you’re based in Eyemouth and want companion-focused work that values relationships over task lists, PrimeCarers could be the right step. You’ll keep the freedom of self-employment, benefit from administrative support, and work with people who need company and reassurance rather than hands-on care.
