Companion Carer Jobs in Long Eaton

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Long Eaton who need companionship, reassurance and light support at home. A companion carer’s day is about conversation, shared hobbies, accompanying someone to appointments or local outings, and gentle help with everyday tasks that keep a person independent and safe. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits people who enjoy spending time with others and who want to prioritise wellbeing over task‑led care. You’ll set your own approach: some carers focus on regular weekend visits to reduce loneliness, others organise weekly trips or support a client with hobbies. You’re in control of which clients you accept, what hours you work and the area you cover. We help match you with families across Long Eaton and nearby towns such as Stapleford, Sandiacre, Beeston, Ilkeston, West Bridgefield and Kimberley in Nottinghamshire.

Pay and flexibility: as a self‑employed carer you set your own rates and choose the work that fits you. Typical rates for companion work are shown as £18.50–£20.70 per hour. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care, and insurance is included while you work.

Who we’re looking for

• Care experience: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks & references: an Enhanced DBS is required — we can help you arrange this — plus verifiable references.
• Right to work: you must have the legal right to work in the UK.

This is an ongoing opportunity to join PrimeCarers as a companion carer in Long Eaton rather than one specific post. If you’re thinking about leaving agency work for more control, PrimeCarers is built to give experienced carers the freedom to choose. You’ll keep the professional standards you already have while taking charge of your working life.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Add your experience, upload or request an Enhanced DBS and provide references. We verify documents quickly and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers starts matching you with local families and you decide which introductions to accept.
