You can travel a little further to nearby towns such as Sutton in Ashfield, Mansfield, Alfreton, Hucknall, Eastwood and Langley Mill if you choose.

What the role involves: companionship visits, spending time chatting, accompanying clients to appointments or social trips, supporting hobbies and interests, and light household help like making drinks, preparing simple meals, or tidying. Most clients welcome someone reliable who can offer company, reassurance and a friendly routine rather than clinical tasks.

Who this suits: experienced carers who enjoy social visits and relationship‑led support; people leaving agency work who want more control over their working life; carers who like variety and the chance to build longer term friendships with clients. You must have at least one year of professional care experience and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed. You also need the right to work in the UK.
