Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with people in Bournbrook who mainly need company and reassurance. Companionship care here is conversation over a cuppa, short outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of presence that keeps someone independent and content. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose clients, hours and service area.
Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
If you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines, companionship roles can suit you if you enjoy gentle, reliable support rather than hands-on personal care. In Bournbrook you might spend time chatting, taking someone for a short walk, helping with light tidying, or encouraging a hobby. Many families prefer a steady face who offers company and a sense of calm.
Typical pay is shown on profiles — many carers choose rates in the local range: £18.80–£20 per hour — and you set what feels fair based on your experience and the time involved. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you keep the practical side simple and in your control.
This kind of work suits carers with at least one year of professional care experience who enjoy conversation, patience and a steady approach. To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
