As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Many carers use their experience to offer regular companionship visits, occasional weekends, or short daytime calls — whatever fits your life. Typical pay for companionship roles is £18.50–£20 per hour and you remain in control of how you price visits and builds relationships in Hawkesley and nearby communities such as Walkers Heath, Kings Norton, West Heath, Cotteridge, Northfield and Lifford.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working. That means you can focus on caring and companionship rather than chasing invoices. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more autonomy than agency work usually allows. You’ll be a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience, reliable references, and the right to work in the UK. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. We look for people who bring warmth, patience and practical sense to everyday visits — the reassuring presence families in Hawkesley value.

Typical companionship tasks include friendly conversation, reading together, supporting hobbies or crafts, accompanying clients on short outings to shops or local parks, light household tidying, making drinks and offering reassurance. You won’t be asked to perform clinical or heavy manual care beyond your agreed scope.

How to apply: create a profile, add your references and documents, and tell us the hours and areas you’re willing to cover around Hawkesley. Applying takes minutes and PrimeCarers will verify your details — profiles commonly go live within days. Once approved you can review client requests and accept only those that suit you. Many carers moving from agencies find this approach gives them better work-life balance and clearer control over who they visit in Hawkesley and the wider West Midlands.
