Description

As a companion carer on PrimeCarers you’ll spend time with local people in Bingley who value conversation, company, outings, hobbies and a little light help around the home. This work is about building trust, offering reassurance and being a steady presence rather than delivering medical care. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship roles typically include visiting for a chat over tea, accompanying someone to a park or local café, supporting hobbies, helping with errands and providing simple household assistance such as tidying, meal preparation and reminders. Many families in Bingley and across West Yorkshire are looking for carers who can be consistent, friendly and reliable. You decide the sort of companionship you provide and how it fits with the life of the person you support.

PrimeCarers is designed for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical companion carer pay is £18.80–£20 per hour, but you set what works for you by reflecting your experience and travel. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work.

The role suits experienced carers who enjoy spending time with people and prefer flexible, person-focused work. Many of our carers come from agency or domiciliary backgrounds and use PrimeCarers to take more control of their working life in Bingley. You can accept visits that fit your week, arrange regular calls or offer occasional support for outings.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self-employed and responsible for how you manage your diary and taxes, while we support the admin side and match you with families in Bingley, Shipley, Baildon, Keighley, Thornton, Denholme and Clayton via Shipley, Baildon, Keighley, Thornton, Denholme and Clayton.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, submit documents and references, and most profiles go live within days of verification.
