Description

Companion care in Biddulph is about conversation, reassurance and spending time together. You’ll support people who mainly want company — chatting over a cuppa, accompanying someone on short outings, helping with hobbies and light household tasks so they feel safer and less isolated. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity for experienced carers across Biddulph and surrounding Staffordshire towns. You’ll work as a self-employed carer: set your own rates, pick the clients you want, choose your hours and decide how far you’ll travel. Many carers on PrimeCarers charge within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the support they provide and the hours involved.

This type of work suits people who enjoy companionship roles: good listeners, warm company, practical helpers who can bring hobbies, outings and friendly conversation into someone’s week. You don’t need complex clinical skills — what matters is at least a year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK.

PrimeCarers does the paperwork so you can focus on caring. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You still remain self-employed and in control of your diary. Many carers who’ve left agency work find the straightforward admin and fair pay make a real difference.
