Companionship Carer Jobs in Hawick

Companionship care in Hawick is about steady, reassuring company: friendly conversation, walks, trips to local cafes, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll spend time listening, encouraging independence and making a real difference to someone’s day-to-day life in Hawick and the surrounding area.

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

This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships rather than frequent personal-care tasks. Typical companionship duties include chatting over tea, accompanying someone on short outings, supporting hobbies and interests, prompting medication reminders when needed, and light household tasks such as making drinks, preparing snacks or tidying after activities. You’ll often support clients who appreciate a steady, familiar face and clear reassurance.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want flexibility. You choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — many companionship carers in the area work within a typical range of £15–£25 per hour. We find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you are working on assignments. That means less admin for you and more time spent doing the work you enjoy in Hawick, whether you cover the town centre or travel to nearby villages and towns such as Selkirk, Jedburgh, Newtown St Boswells, Melrose, Galashiels and Earlston.

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. You remain self-employed: you decide when to accept a client and can update your availability any time. Applying takes only minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over your work and the chance to give companionship care the time it deserves, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. We support carers across the Scottish Borders and help with the paperwork so you can focus on supporting people where you live and work.
