Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed companion carers with families in Goole and the surrounding East Riding of Yorkshire who want company, conversation and reassurance. These ongoing opportunities suit people who enjoy sitting with someone over a cuppa, joining them on a short outing, supporting hobbies or helping with light tasks around the home — not complex personal care. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical companion work in Goole includes friendly conversation, accompanying clients to shops or appointments, supporting hobbies and local outings, light household tasks such as making drinks, tidying and prompting medication at a simple level. The role is about presence and companionship: listening, encouraging activity, offering reassurance and helping someone feel less isolated.

This type of work is ideal if you value flexible hours, want to build closer relationships with a small number of clients and prefer spending time with people rather than moving between clinical tasks. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are leaving agency shifts for steadier, more meaningful home‑based visits in Goole and nearby towns such as Howden, Snaith, Crowle, Thorne, Selby and Stainforth.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and your service area. Typical pay for companionship roles is £18.50–£20 per hour and you can pick an hourly, block or live‑in arrangement that suits you — see £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day for common ranges. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can concentrate on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We run a straightforward verification so profiles usually go live within days once checks are complete. Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload documents and start choosing clients.

If you already work in care in Goole and want more control over who you support and when you work, PrimeCarers gives you the admin support and client introductions without taking away your freedom to set rates and accept only the jobs you want. You remain self‑employed, build your own diary and choose the kind of companionship care you enjoy delivering.
