Companionship care is about being present. Typical shifts involve sitting and chatting over a cuppa, joining clients for local walks, helping with hobbies and appointments, or offering reassurance at home. This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy building friendly, steady relationships rather than performing intensive personal or clinical tasks. Many carers find this role particularly rewarding in Banbury and across Oxfordshire because it lets you focus on connection and quality of life.

As a PrimeCarers carer you keep control. You are self-employed: set your rates, accept only the clients you want and arrange the hours that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can spend more time with people and less on paperwork.

Requirements to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable references.

If you’ve ever wanted to move away from agency rotas and reclaim your schedule, this could be the change you need.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers verifies them — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can start choosing local clients and accepting bookings that fit your life in Banbury.
