Companionship Carer Jobs in Matlock

Looking for companionship care work in Matlock that respects your experience and gives you control over your week? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who want conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of support that keeps people independent and content. Many of the roles suit people who enjoy chatting over tea, joining a local walk, accompanying someone to appointments or helping with simple household tasks. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Matlock and nearby areas including Darley Dale, Wirksworth, Alport Town, Clay Cross, Gratton and Bakewell. You set your own rates, choose the clients you work with, and decide the hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20.80 per hour, with more detailed ranges shown as £18.50–£20.80 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day arrangements.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, so you can focus on care, conversation and building relationships. While you are working with a client through PrimeCarers, insurance is included. Applying takes minutes and profiles usually go live within days of verification.

Who this role suits: experienced care workers who enjoy companionship-focused support rather than intensive personal care. You’ll be a good fit if you like to:

• Listen and chat — companionship, reminiscence and regular conversation.
• Get out and about — short walks, local shops, community activities or museum trips in and around Matlock.
• Help around the home — light household tasks, meal companionship and reassurance.
• Support hobbies — gardening, crafts, reading or other pastimes.

Requirements to join are clear and practical: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We aim to verify profiles quickly so you can start choosing clients in Matlock and across Derbyshire without long delays.

PrimeCarers is for self-employed carers who want a different way of working from traditional agency routes. You keep control of your diary and your earnings, while PrimeCarers provides client introductions and back-office support. If you’re ready to trade rota constraints for flexibility and more direct relationships with the people you support, you can apply now — it only takes minutes and we’ll guide you through the checks and profile set up.
