Description

Work as a companionship carer in Fleetwood, supporting older people who value conversation, outings, shared hobbies and gentle reassurance around the home. These roles focus on being present, building trust and bringing companionship — from a cuppa and a chat to a short walk, a trip to a café or light help with everyday tasks. You’ll meet people across Fleetwood and the surrounding area, including Cleveleys, Preesall, Thornton Cleveleys, Poulton le Fylde, Blackpool and Garstang.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform that connects self-employed carers directly with families. You set your own rates and can expect to see work in the typical range of £18.89–£20 per hour depending on the care you provide. Carers choose their own clients, hours and service area, while PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform.

Who this suits: experienced carers who enjoy company-focused visits more than clinical care. If you like listening, encouraging hobbies, planning short trips and offering reassurance without heavy personal care, companionship roles are ideal. Many people come from agency backgrounds and appreciate the control here over who they work with and when.

Typical tasks include:

  • Chatting, reminiscing and offering emotional support.
  • Accompanying clients on short outings, appointments or community activities.
  • Supporting hobbies — reading, crafts, games or local groups.
  • Light domestic help such as making drinks, meal preparation and tidying.
  • Being a steady, reassuring presence in the home.

Requirements to join are simple and clear: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We do check these before profiles go public.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days once verified. PrimeCarers is designed for people who want to keep the freedom of self-employment while removing much of the admin: you find clients without handling invoices or contracts yourself. You remain in control of your availability and choice of clients across Fleetwood and wider Lancashire.

If you’re ready to prioritise companionship work, set your own hours and rates, and work locally around Fleetwood, create your profile today — it only takes a few minutes to start being seen by families looking for exactly the kind of care you offer.
