These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Longtown and the surrounding area of Cumbria. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose who they work with, when they work and where they travel. Typical pay for companion work is £19.20–£21.50 per hour depending on you and the client’s agreement. PrimeCarers finds introductions, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

This kind of work is ideal if you have at least a year of professional care experience and prefer spending your time in conversations, community outings and light household support rather than personal or clinical tasks. You’ll be visiting people in their homes, helping with small chores, accompanying them to shops or appointments and sharing interests like gardening, crafts or music. Most visits are relaxed and relationship‑led — perfect if you value continuity and getting to know people properly.

To join you’ll need the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t already have an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We require at least one year of professional care experience to ensure clients get reliable, confident support.

PrimeCarers supports self‑employed carers who want an alternative to agency life: you keep control of who you work for and when, while we take care of the paperwork and payments. You’ll be working locally in and around Longtown — including trips to Gretna, Smithfield, Carlisle, Langholm, Brampton and Annan — and across Cumbria where demand suits your chosen service area.

Applying takes minutes and creating your profile is straightforward. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing introductions soon after joining. This page advertises ongoing opportunities rather than a single role; you decide which clients and shifts to accept.

If you enjoy company, conversation and helping people stay connected to their community, Longtown has rewarding companion care work waiting for experienced, compassionate carers.
