Description
Work as a companion carer in Kimberley, offering conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly want company and reassurance. You’ll spend time building trust, listening and helping someone keep the routine that matters to them. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This role suits experienced, kind people who prefer predictable, relational care over personal care tasks: companions who enjoy a chat over a cuppa, a walk to the shops, a museum trip, or supporting a hobby. Many carers on PrimeCarers choose their own clients and hours and set their own rates, typically £15–£25 per hour. You decide which visits you accept, whether you cover Kimberley neighbourhoods only or extend to nearby areas such as Bulwell, Ilkeston, Eastwood, Hucknall, Langley Mill and Heanor in Nottinghamshire.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you keep the rewarding, human side of care and the business admin sits with us. You remain self-employed, choose your service area, and can pick daytime visits, short companionship calls or longer outings to suit your life.
Typical pay styles vary by visit: many carers use the standard £15–£25 per hour for hourly visits, or £120–£180 per day for day rates when offering extended companionship. You set your actual rate and can update it as you wish. We’ll never promise income levels — your earnings depend on the hours you choose and the clients you accept.
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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers supports new self-employed carers through onboarding and can advise on record-keeping and invoicing.
- What you’ll do: companionship, light household help, escorts to appointments or social activities, and reassurance at home.
- Who this fits: friendly, punctual people with proven care experience who want flexible hours and to choose who they work with.
- How we help: client matching, contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you are working.
- How to apply: create a profile online in minutes; once verified, you can start accepting client requests in Kimberley and nearby towns.
If you’re ready to move away from agency patterns and keep the part of care you love — companionship and meaningful visits — PrimeCarers could be the practical next step in Kimberley. Apply now and take control of when, where and who you support.
