Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed companionship carers to connect with families across Kirriemuir and the wider Angus area. This is about spending time with people who value conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home — reassurance and company rather than hands‑on nursing. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Companionship care commonly includes: chatting over a cup of tea, joining clients on short walks or local outings, supporting hobbies and activities, accompanying appointments, helping with light household tidying and making sure someone feels safe and settled at home. This role suits carers who enjoy building regular, social relationships and who can bring warmth, patience and good observational skills to each visit. Many of the people you meet will be based in Kirriemuir and small towns nearby such as Forfar, Letham, Coupar Angus, Brechin, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Monifieth in Angus.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours and your own rate. Typical pay is shown as £15–£25 per hour; typical hourly and live‑in ranges are £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. You choose which clients to accept, which shifts to take and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles the paperwork and payments, and keeps the administration simple so you can focus on the care and companionship.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. The verification process is straightforward: upload your details, add references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Many carers who are used to agency schedules find this setup gives them the flexibility to work around family life or other commitments while keeping client relationships consistent in Kirriemuir and across Angus.
These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you’re an experienced carer thinking about leaving agency work and want more control over who you work with and when, creating a PrimeCarers profile takes just minutes and can open up regular companionship roles in and around Kirriemuir.
