Companionship Carer Jobs in Kings Norton

We’re looking for friendly, experienced carers in Kings Norton who enjoy conversation, local outings and helping people stay engaged at home. Companionship work focuses on reassurance, hobbies, social trips and light household help rather than clinical tasks. You’d be supporting people who value company and gentle practical support across Kings Norton and nearby areas.

Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship visits can be anything from a weekly call and a cuppa to an afternoon walk, a trip to a club, or sitting with someone while they do a hobby. The role suits people who are calm, reliable and good at listening — perhaps you’re leaving agency shifts, returning to care after a break or looking for regular hours that fit round family life in the West Midlands. You’ll spend time building rapport, keeping people safe and helping them enjoy ordinary days.

On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept and decide your hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour for companionship roles. You’ll see local introductions around Kings Norton and in places like Lifford, Cotteridge, Walkers Heath, Brandwood End, Bournville and Hawkesley so you can pick jobs that suit your travel plans.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find introductions, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange that if you don’t already have one. We don’t send you to shifts you haven’t agreed to — you choose the clients and agree the hours directly.

If you want compassionate, flexible companionship work in Kings Norton, creating a profile is straightforward. Add a short summary of your experience, set your availability and hourly rate, attach references and any existing checks, and submit. Profiles are reviewed quickly so you can start seeing introductions soon.
