Companionship work typically involves spending time talking, supporting outings to shops or cafés, joining local groups, helping with hobby activities and offering gentle reassurance and prompting around the house. You won’t be asked to perform clinical tasks unless you are specifically contracted to do so; the focus is on company, dignity and maintaining a client’s independence. Many carers in Westhill accompany people to appointments, lead simple activities, or help with light domestic tasks so clients feel calmer and safer at home.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who prefer flexible, relationship-based work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area — whether you want short companionship visits or longer daytime sessions in Westhill and nearby towns such as Kintore, Kemnay, Portlethen, Inverurie, Banchory and Oldmeldrum. You set your own rates; typical pay for companion roles is £18.80–£20 per hour and you can reflect your experience and travel in the rate you set.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
