Companionship Carer Jobs in Harborne

Are you a caring, experienced carer in Harborne who enjoys conversation, local trips and helping people stay connected to their interests? PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers directly with families who need reassurance, company and light help around the home — think tea-time chats, escorted outings, shared hobbies and small practical tasks. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship roles suit people who value relationship-led care. You might regularly visit someone for an afternoon walk, take a client to a local café, help with a craft or gardening hobby, or offer gentle support with routine tasks that help someone feel secure and engaged. Many clients want calm, friendly faces rather than clinical care — that’s where your experience matters most in Harborne and the surrounding West Midlands area.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep full control of your diary. Typical pay falls in £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the care you provide and the hours you set. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you spend time caring rather than chasing admin.

To join we ask that you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed). You’ll also need to confirm your experience and references during verification. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Working through PrimeCarers is flexible by design. Pick morning, afternoon or evening visits, one-off companionship sessions or regular weekly calls — whatever fits your life. You can offer services across Harborne and nearby areas such as Harts Green, Beech Lanes, California, Chad Valley, Selly Oak and Bournbrook to expand the options available to you and clients.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you work for and when, PrimeCarers is built for that change. Create a profile, tell families about the companionship you offer, and choose the bookings that fit you. Many carers moving away from agency work tell us they value the clearer contracts and the peace of mind that the platform handles payments and insurance while they care.
