Description
Companionship care in Coalville is about being present, keeping company and helping people enjoy everyday life. You’ll spend time chatting, sharing hobbies, planning short outings, and offering light help around the home so clients feel safe and reassured. Many families in Coalville value a steady, friendly face more than clinical assistance, and this role is ideal if you like conversation, practical support and building trust.
Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
You’ll work with people across Coalville and the wider Leicestershire area, choosing the clients and hours that suit you. Tasks typically include making a cuppa and a chat, accompanying someone on a short walk or to a local café, helping with light household tasks, and encouraging hobbies or gentle activities. This is companionship-focused care rather than nursing or heavy personal care.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who want more control than agency life. You set your own rates and decide your availability and service area. Typical pay for these roles is £18.50–£20.50 per hour, with common ranges for hourly care at £18.50–£20.50 per hour and live-in day work at £145–£160 per day. You can accept only the clients that fit your skills and schedule.
To join you’ll need at least one 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 finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and there’s insurance included while you work. That means less admin and more time caring.
