Companionship Carer Jobs in Cotgrave

Are you an experienced carer in Cotgrave who prefers spending time with people over paper rounds and rota changes? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companionship carers directly with families across Cotgrave and the wider Nottinghamshire area. The role focuses on conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — reassuring company rather than personal care. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a companionship carer you’ll be supporting people who value company and stability. Typical work includes regular visits for tea and chat, accompanying someone to community groups or hospital appointments, joining in activities such as gardening, puzzles or short walks, and helping with light household tasks that keep someone comfortable at home. Many clients want predictable, friendly faces rather than clinical care; if you enjoy building relationships and offering calm reassurance you’ll do well in Cotgrave.

Pay is set by you on PrimeCarers: carers are self‑employed and choose their own rates, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of work sit around £18.50–£20.70 per hour. You can list either hourly care rates (£18.50–£20.70 per hour) or live‑in day rates (£145–£160 per day) on your profile — then pick the clients and bookings that suit you.

PrimeCarers handles the introductions and the admin. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a family. That means more time for the work you enjoy and less time chasing paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency life — to choose clients, keep regular hours or a varied diary, and focus on companionship. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline requests.

Cotgrave families often look for carers who can travel a little further on occasion; many of our clients are also near Netherfield, West Bridgefield, Carlton, Bingham, Beeston and Arnold. If you already work locally or want to expand in Nottinghamshire, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to define your service area and availability.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Create a profile, tell families about the companionship you provide and start choosing the visits that fit your life. If you want a kinder, clearer way to work with local families in Cotgrave, PrimeCarers can help you make the move.
