Companion Carer Jobs in Langholm

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers in Langholm with families looking for companionship-focused support: conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. If you enjoy company work more than complex personal care, and want to work on your own terms close to home in Langholm and across Dumfries and Galloway, this could suit you. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care on PrimeCarers is about presence and reassurance — being a thoughtful conversation partner, joining a local walk, helping with a cup of tea and small household tasks that keep someone comfortable and connected. Jobs are ongoing opportunities rather than one-off shifts, and many families in and around Langholm want regular, familiar support.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed: you set your own rates (typical range £19.20–£20.90 per hour) and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working. That means more time with people and less time on paperwork.

Who this role suits:

• Carers who prefer companionship work — gentle, conversation-led visits and community outings.
• Experienced professionals looking to leave agency rota constraints and build longer-term relationships.
• Self-starters who want control over hours, travel and the neighbourhoods they serve (Longtown, Gretna, Smithfield, Lockerbie, Annan and Lochmaben are nearby). Longtown, Gretna, Smithfield, Lockerbie, Annan and Lochmaben

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. You remain self‑employed at all times and decide which clients to accept.

Applying takes minutes. Complete your profile, upload checks and references, and once verified profiles typically go live within days — then you can begin discussing arrangements directly with families in Langholm and nearby towns. You will invoice through PrimeCarers and we manage payments, so you’re paid for the time you work without handling billing yourself.
