Companionship Carer Jobs in Bodmin

Companionship care in Bodmin is about time, conversation and quiet confidence. You’ll spend visits chatting over a cuppa, supporting hobbies, taking someone to a café or for short local outings, and helping with little tasks around the home so a person feels safe and reassured. These roles suit people who enjoy company more than personal care tasks and who want to build ongoing relationships with families across Bodmin and the surrounding area, including Lostwithiel, Wadebridge, St Blazey, Par, St Austell and Charlestown.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work is for experienced carers: you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it. If you’re used to agency rotas but want more control over who you support and when, companionship roles through PrimeCarers offer a different approach in Bodmin and across Cornwall.

As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for companionship sit around £20–£22 per hour. For reference, many carers charge within £20–£22 per hour for hourly visits and within £147.50–£170 per day for live‑in days, but you’re free to set what works for you and the families you meet.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on people. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working with a client. You remain self-employed and in control: decide which requests to accept, the hours you work and how far you travel from Bodmin. That freedom helps you balance work with family life or other commitments.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, provide the required checks and references, and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, you can be introduced to ongoing companionship opportunities across Bodmin and nearby towns. If you enjoy steady, meaningful visits rather than unpredictable shifts, this is an alternative worth exploring.
