Companion Carer Jobs in Coleford

Help someone in Coleford enjoy company, conversations and life beyond the front door. As a companion carer you’ll focus on conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of reassuring presence that keeps people connected. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who prefer predictable, meaningful work rather than task‑led shifts. You’ll choose the clients you want to support across Coleford and nearby towns such as Monmouth, Cinderford, Lydney, Mitcheldean, Ross on Wye and Berkeley and decide when and how much you work. Typical pay falls in £18.80–£22 per hour, and you set your own rates as a self‑employed carer.

What companionship care looks like day to day: friendly conversation over a cuppa, supporting hobbies and interests, accompanying someone to a local café, short walks in the area, light household tasks like tidying or making meals, and offering calm reassurance if someone feels anxious. It isn’t clinical care; if a client needs higher-care support, you only take roles that match your experience and preference.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, so you can focus on caring. Insurance is included while you work through the platform. Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from rota-driven agency life while keeping the independence of self‑employment.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. You remain self‑employed — you set your rates, choose clients, hours and the area you serve in Gloucestershire and beyond.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can begin reviewing client matches and choosing the companionship roles that suit your skills and lifestyle. If you want to see typical pay formats, the platform lists ranges such as £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates so you can make informed choices.
