Companionship care is about being present: a friendly face, a reassuring voice and support for everyday activities like shared walks, trips to local shops or cafes, reading, puzzles, light meal prep and simple domestic tasks. In Mirfield this role suits carers who enjoy conversation, can put people at ease and want to support someone to remain independent and engaged in their community.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates (typical range: £18.70–£20 per hour), choose which clients you’ll meet and when you work. PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care and companionship.
