On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose your own clients, hours and service area across Leek and surrounding communities. We support you by finding clients and taking care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You set the fees you charge — typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour — and you can accept only the bookings that suit you.

Companionship roles usually involve conversation, accompanying someone on short walks, attending local cafés or clubs, helping with hobbies and providing reassurance. Tasks are light and person‑centred: think making a drink, playing a board game, reading, or supporting a short trip to the shops. These roles suit carers who enjoy building relationships and offering calm, consistent company rather than hands‑on personal care.

We’re looking for people with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies these checks so your profile can go live quickly.

Many of our carers come from agency backgrounds and tell us they value the flexibility to pick clients and hours, plus the clearer paperwork and simpler pay process. Work around family life or pick daytime visits — you set your diary. Apply in minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification.

Whether you already live in Leek or travel from nearby towns like Biddulph, Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley Grange, Congleton and Kidsgrove, you’ll be supported with contracts and insured while you work. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than single advertised shifts, so you can build lasting relationships with the people you support across Staffordshire.
