Description
Looking for companionship-focused care work in Bottesford and the surrounding area? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who need conversation, company and reassurance — the sort of support that makes days brighter. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companion care here is about time and presence: chatting over a cup of tea, supporting hobbies, going for short walks, accompanying people to local shops or appointments, and helping with light tasks around the home such as making drinks, putting out washing or gentle tidying. Most clients want someone reliable who can offer calm company, encouragement and a friendly face rather than clinical personal care. Many carers in Bottesford find the work deeply rewarding because it lets them build real relationships.
This route suits experienced care workers who prefer flexible, relationship-led work — especially if you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed and set your own rates, so you control how much you want to charge and when you work. Typical rates for companion work sit around £18.50–£20.50 per hour and you choose your clients, hours and service area.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. We also help with arranging an Enhanced DBS if you need it and support the verification checks families expect. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Flexible hours: pick morning calls, afternoons or regular weekly visits that suit you and the person you support.
- Choose your area: work in Bottesford and nearby towns like Bingham, Grantham, Newark on Trent, Cotgrave, Netherfield and Southwell if you wish.
- Simple application: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
- Support while you work: contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance are handled by PrimeCarers so you can focus on care.
If you have at least a year’s care experience, good references and the right to work in the UK, setting up a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. Create your profile, complete verification and start choosing clients who match your skills and availability. Many carers who already work in Leicestershire prefer companion roles because they’re predictable, local and people-focused.
