Companionship Carer Jobs in Kings Heath

Companionship care in Kings Heath means being the friendly, steady presence that helps someone keep living well at home: conversation over a cup of tea, local walks, outings, hobbies and a little light help around the house to give reassurance and confidence. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits carers who enjoy building relaxed, long‑term connections rather than clinical support. You’ll spend time chatting, joining people on short trips into town, encouraging creative activities or helping with small tasks that let a person stay independent. Many families in Kings Heath and the surrounding area look for this everyday support because it makes a real difference to wellbeing.

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with local families across Kings Heath and nearby areas such as Wake Green, Moor Green, Moseley, Stirchley, Billesley and Brandwood End. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — typical rates fall in the range £18.50–£20 per hour — while PrimeCarers handles finding clients and the paperwork.

We take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. That means you can focus on the care itself rather than chasing payments or admin. Many carers from agency roles in the West Midlands switch to this way of working to keep the benefits of steady work but with more control over their time.

What we ask of applicants

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Joining is simple: applying takes minutes and you’ll complete a short profile. We verify your documents and references and profiles typically go live within days. Once live you can review enquiries and decide which families in Kings Heath or nearby towns you want to meet.

If you’re an experienced carer who values meaningful companionship work and wants more control over your hours and pay, this is an easy way to move away from agency constraints while keeping professional support behind you. Sign up, choose the jobs that fit your life, and spend your time doing the part of care you love in Kings Heath and across the West Midlands.
