Companion Carer Jobs in Maidenhead

If you enjoy spending time with older people, having meaningful conversations, going on local outings and offering light help around the home, PrimeCarers in Maidenhead could be a good fit. Our companion roles focus on reassurance, company and practical support — tea and chat, hobbies, walks, appointments and small domestic tasks that help someone stay independent and connected in their community.

Right now, 58 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing, self‑employed opportunities across Maidenhead and neighbouring towns including Marlow, Eton, Windsor, Slough, Beaconsfield and High Wycombe. You set your own hours, choose the clients you work with and decide how far you’ll travel. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically charge within £19–£22 per hour; many list more specific ranges like £19–£22 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live‑in arrangements when relevant.

What the role involves:

• Conversation and companionship: regular visits to keep clients company, reminiscence and social stimulation.
• Outings and activities: accompanying clients to appointments, local cafés, parks or community events.
• Light practical help: making drinks, preparing simple meals, prompting medication, light tidying and reassurance to reduce loneliness and anxiety.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer low‑intensity, relationship‑based work rather than hands‑on personal care. It’s ideal for people leaving agency routines who want control over their working life in Maidenhead and wider Berkshire, while keeping the professional back‑up PrimeCarers provides.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers:

• 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.

How PrimeCarers supports you: we find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed and keep the flexibility to choose clients, hours and your service area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
