Companionship Carer Jobs in Portlethen

Are you an experienced carer in Portlethen who enjoys sitting and chatting, taking people out for tea, supporting hobbies or offering reassurance around the home? Companionship care with PrimeCarers focuses on meaningful company — conversation, local walks, shared interests and light help with daily tasks for people who mainly need company and reassurance. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self‑employed companionship carer working with families across Portlethen and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area you choose the clients you want, the hours you work and the area you cover. Many of the roles are regular short visits, afternoon company or weekly outings; others suit carers who prefer daytime blocks or weekend work. You set your own rates, and typical pay falls in the range £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the support and travel involved.

PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work. That means you can focus on the people you support — whether that’s joining a local group, helping with hobbies, supporting short trips into town or simply offering reassuring company at home. We operate across Portlethen and nearby towns like Red Cloak, Stonehaven, Westhill, Banchory, Kintore and Inverbervie, so you can pick work that fits your travel preferences.

This kind of companionship work suits carers who are good at building rapport, who enjoy conversation and activities, and who can provide calm, reliable presence. It’s ideal if you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines: you keep the professional control while PrimeCarers handles the admin. You’ll manage bookings directly, choose clients and set your hours so the role fits around other commitments.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active, families in Portlethen and Aberdeenshire can contact you directly to discuss regular visits, outings and companionship work.
