Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Cirencester who need reliable companionship: conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll work with people who value conversation and companionship, not clinical support. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This kind of work suits friendly, patient carers with at least one year of professional care experience who enjoy spending time with people — whether that’s a weekly visit for tea and a chat, an afternoon walk or supporting a hobby at home. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one). We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Cirencester and the wider Gloucestershire area.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is £19–£22 per hour and you can set the level that reflects your experience and the support you provide. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on spending quality time with people rather than paperwork.
Companionship duties are simple to explain and vary by person: conversation, reading together, gentle outings, joining in hobbies, light household tasks and offering reassurance. You won’t be asked to carry out clinical procedures. Many carers enjoy the predictable, relationship-based nature of this work and the chance to make a real difference to someone’s day.
