Description
Are you an experienced carer in Inverlochy who enjoys conversation, outings and helping someone keep living well at home? Companionship care here focuses on spending time with people who need company and reassurance — chatting over a cuppa, joining them for short walks, supporting hobbies, and light help around the home. You’ll work with people who value dignity, friendly company and a steady, familiar face. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform that connects self-employed carers with families across Inverlochy and the surrounding area, including Fort William, Mallaig, Oban, Tobermory, Scotland and Inveraray. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates, choose the clients you work with and pick the hours that suit you. Typical pay for companionship work is around £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work.
This work suits reliable, warm people who want meaningful one-to-one time with clients rather than medical or personal care tasks. You’ll be out visiting clients for companionship visits, helping with small practical tasks like making tea, prompting medication timings where asked, accompanying people to local shops or activities, and supporting hobbies and social routines. You won’t be asked to take on clinical work unless you’re qualified and the client needs it.
To join you 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’ll remain self-employed: that means you manage tax and NI through your own accounting, and you keep control of which jobs and hours you accept.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, list the areas you’ll cover in Inverlochy, upload your references and DBS, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Families contact you directly through the platform so you can decide whether to accept a booking. If you need help at any stage, PrimeCarers support is available to explain the paperwork and the insurance that applies while you’re working.
If you’re ready to move away from agency rostering and want regular, local companionship work that fits around your life in Inverlochy, click to apply and set up your profile. Most carers find the platform quickly connects them with clients who value steady, compassionate company.
