Companion Carer Jobs in Midlands

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed companion carers with families across the Midlands who need friendly, reliable company — conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. You’ll be choosing the people you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover, whether that’s Redditch, Longbridge, Rednal, Turves Green, West Heath, Bromsgrove or elsewhere across Worcestershire and the wider Midlands. Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care is about presence and reassurance. Typical tasks include regular visits for a chat, accompanying someone to appointments or the shops, supporting hobbies, gentle prompts and light household tasks such as making drinks, preparing simple meals or helping with paperwork. This role suits carers who enjoy conversation, short outings and building steady, trusting relationships rather than intensive personal or clinical care.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose the clients you accept. Typical rates for companion work fall in £18.50–£20 per hour; you can see bookings as hourly care or as longer day visits. £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day are shown where appropriate on the platform so you can price your time fairly.

PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance for the time you are working through the platform. That reduces the paperwork burden while you keep the control to organise work around your life in the Midlands.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re used to agency rotas but want more choice and steadier relationships, PrimeCarers may be the step that lets you work more independently across Worcestershire and the Midlands.

Many carers on the platform prefer regular daytime visits and short community outings, but you remain in control of the hours you accept. You can build a diary that fits around family commitments, study or other work. We’re focused on safe, respectful matches: if you prefer quieter companionship roles rather than personal care tasks, you can make that clear on your profile and pick the right clients.

If this sounds like the kind of companion care you want to offer, create your profile now — it only takes a few minutes. Once verified, families in the Midlands will be able to find you and invite you to discuss the kind of help they want.
