Description

If you enjoy conversation, day-to-day company and helping someone stay independent at home, PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families across Braunstone Town. Companion care focuses on reassurance, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home rather than personal care. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical companion tasks include:

  • Conversation and companionship: regular visits, phone calls, reading together and being a reassuring presence.
  • Accompanied outings: trips to the shops, parks, clubs or local appointments.
  • Hobbies and activities: shared interests, crafts, games and gentle walks.
  • Light household help: making drinks, simple meal prep, putting washing away and keeping clutter down.

This work suits experienced carers who value flexible, local work around Braunstone Town and across Leicestershire. Many people come from agency backgrounds and choose PrimeCarers because they want control: carers set their own rates (typically £18.50–£20 per hour), choose their clients, hours and service area, and can accept only the shifts they want.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on caring: PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

We link carers with families in Braunstone Town and nearby communities such as Wigston Magna, Oadby, Earl Shilton, Syston, Hinckley and Market Bosworth. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in the Braunstone Town area rather than a single role.
