Description
If you enjoy spending time with people, encouraging hobbies and offering calm reassurance, Companion care in Cleveleys could be a great fit. Work focuses on conversation, local outings, light help around the home and being a steady presence for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll build relationships rather than chasing shifts, and you decide the balance between social support and practical help.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers directly with families across Cleveleys and the surrounding area. You set your own rates and hours, choose the clients you want to support, and decide how far you’ll travel. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the control and familiar faces that companionship roles bring. You’ll still get the back‑office support you need: PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.
Typical work includes spending time over a cup of tea, going for short walks, running errands, supporting hobbies and attending social events with your client, and light household tasks like meal preparation or tidying. This role suits carers who are patient, warm, good at listening and who enjoy enabling people to get the most from everyday life. You won’t be asked to perform clinical procedures — companionship is about presence, patience and practical common‑sense help.
Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates. Typical companion roles in the area fall within £19–£21.30 per hour depending on the hours, travel and any additional responsibilities you agree with a family. There are options for regular daytime calls, longer social visits or weekend companionship. Many Carers arrange steady weekly work with a few families rather than unpredictable rota shifts.
- Who we’re looking for: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Checks & paperwork: you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange this and guide you through verification.
- Support while you work: contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance are all handled for you, so you can focus on your client.
We work with families across Cleveleys and nearby towns including Thornton Cleveleys, Fleetwood, Poulton le Fylde, Preesall, Blackpool and Lytham St Annes.
