Companion Carer Jobs in Castlefield

We’re looking for experienced companion carers in Castlefield to support people who mainly need company, conversation and reassurance. Typical visits include chatting over tea, joining clients on short outings, sharing hobbies and offering light help around the home — the sort of caring that helps someone feel safer and less isolated. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you choose your clients, hours and service area in and around Castlefield. You set your own rates and many carers work within the range shown by £18.50–£20 per hour. For clarity, typical hourly-care and live-in day ranges are shown as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

This role suits experienced carers who enjoy building relaxed, reliable friendships with people they support. You’ll spend time listening, encouraging activity, going for short walks in Castlefield or nearby parks, and helping with small tasks like making drinks, light meal prep or sorting paperwork. If you prefer day visits, longer calls, or occasional evenings you can offer those — many carers tailor their work to fit family life or other commitments.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers makes the admin easier: we introduce you to families in Castlefield and nearby areas such as Spinningfields, Glenbrook, Hulme, Manchester city centre, Northern Quarter and Moss Side, manage the paperwork and take care of payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working with a PrimeCarers client.

Many carers join because they want more control than agency life gives — setting hours that suit them, choosing who they work with and keeping take-home pay clearer by setting their own rate. You remain self-employed and can accept only the work that fits your life in Castlefield and greater Manchester.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you’re ready to move away from agency routines and offer companionship that makes a real difference, PrimeCarers is set up to support you every step of the way.
