Description
Work as a companion carer in Larbert supporting people who mostly need conversation, company and reassurance. You'll spend time chatting, going on outings, sharing hobbies and doing light help around the home — making days brighter and more relaxed for people across Larbert and the wider Falkirk area. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off shifts. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. We find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. While you are working with a family, insurance is included. That means you keep the control but we take care of the admin and practicalities.
This role suits experienced carers who value meaningful companionship work and want more control than traditional agency roles. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — so you can start connecting with families in Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Carron, Bonnybridge, Grahamston, Denny and Duniplace quickly.

Pay is set by you: many companion carers in the area work within £18.80–£20 per hour, with common ranges shown as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £140.50–£160 per day for live-in day rates. How much you earn depends on the hours you accept, the clients you choose and the services agreed. We never promise specific income; instead we provide the platform and support so you can build a sustainable, flexible way of working in and around Larbert.
Typical companion duties include regular visits for conversation, support with hobbies or appointments, local outings, light household tasks and being a reassuring presence. You will choose the level of practical help you offer and the clients whose needs and personalities fit you best. Many carers who leave agency work find this approach better for work-life balance and for building deeper relationships with the people they support across Larbert and nearby towns.
To apply, create a profile (it takes minutes), upload ID and references, and let us verify your details. Once verified your profile can go live and families in Falkirk and Larbert can start contacting you. Join PrimeCarers to keep the things you love about care — the people, the companionship — while taking control of your time and rates.
