Description

If you enjoy conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home, companionship care in High Heath could suit you. These roles are about being present, offering company and reassurance to people who mainly need social support rather than complex clinical care. You’ll focus on practical companionship — chatting over a cuppa, joining local walks, helping with hobbies, or sitting with someone while they relax at home in High Heath and the surrounding area.

Right now, 18 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across High Heath and nearby communities such as Pelsall, Coal Pool, Aldridge, Brownhills, Bloxwich and Walsall. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit them. Typical rates fall around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the support the client needs and the hours agreed. You can offer standard hourly visits or longer live-in days — the platform displays common ranges like £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £148–£162.50 per day for live-in days so families know what to expect.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and straightforward, person-centred support. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency work, PrimeCarers gives you control over your diary while handling the administrative side — we find clients, arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. Many carers in the West Midlands find this approach easier to balance with family life or other commitments.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if you need), and verifiable references. We don’t advertise one-off shifts here — the platform supports ongoing self-employed opportunities across High Heath and neighbouring towns, letting you build steady relationships with families who value consistent companionship.

Applying takes minutes: create a short profile, upload your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Families contact you directly through the platform; PrimeCarers supports you with contracts and secure payments so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. If you’d like to work locally in High Heath or across the West Midlands and shape your own working week, joining PrimeCarers is a practical next step.
