Companionship Carer Jobs in Bristol

Companionship carers in Bristol help people stay engaged, safe and connected. The role centres on conversation, local outings, hobbies and light help around the home for clients who mainly need company and reassurance. Many carers build long-standing, rewarding relationships while keeping practical tasks simple and dignified. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced care professionals who value freedom and direct relationships with families. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls within £19–£23.50 per hour, with specific listings showing £19–£23.50 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for day rates where live-in support is needed. You decide what you accept and when you work.

PrimeCarers takes the hassle out of finding families in Bristol and the surrounding area. We introduce clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on spending time with people — chatting over tea, joining them on local trips, supporting hobbies or doing light household tasks that help them stay independent.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers who move from agency work say they prefer choosing their own clients and crafting visits around what each person enjoys. If you want to work around family life or take on only weekend calls, you can do that here.

PrimeCarers covers the admin so you don’t have to — we manage client introductions and payments, and we verify documents quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We regularly list opportunities across Bristol and nearby towns such as Kingswood, Filton, Keynsham, Patchway, Bradley Stoke and Nailsea.

If you’re an experienced carer who enjoys company work and wants more control over your working life, creating a profile is a quick first step. Upload your details, evidence of experience and references, and we’ll support the checks. Then start choosing clients who match the way you like to work.
