Companion Carer Jobs in Highfield Country Park

We’re looking for experienced companion carers who want to work in and around Highfield Country Park, offering reassuring company, conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help at home. This is for carers who enjoy building friendships and supporting people to feel safe and connected in their own homes in Manchester and nearby communities.

Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship work here focuses on spending quality time: chatting over a cuppa, accompanying someone to the park or shops, helping with a hobby, or providing calm company and reassurance during the day or evening. You won’t be expected to provide complex clinical care on these shifts — the emphasis is social support and practical, light help around the home.

This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to leave agency rotas behind. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area fit you best. Typical rates for companion care in this area are £18.50–£20 per hour. You can accept short calls, regular weekly visits or longer companionship sessions depending on your availability.

To join you’ll need 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. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care: we find clients for you, manage contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provide insurance while you are working with a client.

Many carers on our platform work with people across Highfield Country Park and nearby areas such as Burnage, Levenshulme, Longsight, Gorton, Ladybarn and Belle Vue.
