Description
Live and work in Falkland, providing companionship to older people who value conversation, short outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home.

This kind of companionship care suits experienced carers who enjoy building steady relationships rather than quick task-based visits.

If you’re considering a move away from agency schedules, PrimeCarers lets you keep the rewarding parts of care work while taking control of when and where you work.

PrimeCarers finds matches for carers in and around Falkland and nearby towns such as Auchtermuchty, Collydean, Ladybank, Pitcoudie, Glenrothes and Markinch.
