Companionship Carer Jobs in Greenlaw

If you enjoy company, conversation and gentle support, PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers with families around Greenlaw and the wider Scottish Borders. This is for experienced carers who prefer flexible, local work: friendly chats, trips to the shops or garden, shared hobbies, short outings and light help around the home to give reassurance and company.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work is ongoing rather than a single placement. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide how far you’ll travel from Greenlaw. You also set your rates from the typical range of £15–£25 per hour, and PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work.

Typical companionship duties include:

• Spending time chatting, listening and keeping company in the client’s home.
• Accompanying clients on short outings, appointments or local walks.
• Supporting hobbies and activities: reading, puzzles, crafts, light gardening.
• Light domestic help: making drinks, simple meal prep, reminders and reassurance.

This kind of work suits carers who value relaxed, person‑centred visits rather than personal care tasks. If you’re leaving agency shifts for more control, PrimeCarers lets you keep your professional standards while choosing the hours and people you work with in Greenlaw, and in nearby areas such as Duns, Kelso, Coldstream, Earlston, Lauder and Newtown St Boswells.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will verify your documents, set up your profile and once verified most carers see their profile go live within days. Applying takes minutes.

Practical points to note: you are self-employed, so you manage your own tax and national insurance. PrimeCarers takes care of finding clients and managing contracts, payments and insurance while you are on a job, so you can focus on caring. Opportunities are ongoing rather than a single role, so availability and client needs in Greenlaw and the Scottish Borders can change over time.
