Description
Are you an experienced carer in Crumlin looking for more control over the work you do? Companion care with PrimeCarers is about conversation, outings, shared hobbies and gentle help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll visit people in their own homes across Crumlin and nearby areas, building relationships rather than following rigid shift lists. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for this kind of companion work is around £18.80–£20 per hour, though many carers set different rates for short visits, longer calls and regular companionship. You can take on daytime chats, café outings, museum trips, accompanying people to appointments, or support with hobbies and light household tasks like making drinks, light tidying and filling in a reassurance check.
This role suits someone who already has at least one year of professional care experience and who values continuity and conversation over clinical tasks. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they enjoy the deeper connections they can make, fewer late cancellations and the freedom to plan their week around family and life commitments. Work is available across Crumlin and neighbouring towns including Randalstown, Lurgan, Merville Garden Village, Ballyclare, Doromore and Holywood, and Antrim is within easy reach for additional opportunities.
To join you’ll need: at least 1 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 supports self-employed carers by finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you’re working. You remain in control of which clients you accept, how many hours you take on and the parts of Crumlin and Antrim where you work.
Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify everything. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be available to families quickly. If you want meaningful, flexible companionship work where you’re treated as a professional and in charge of your time, PrimeCarers makes it simple to get started.
