Description

If you enjoy company, good conversation and helping people stay active at home, companion care in Moston could be a great fit. You’ll support clients with outings, hobbies, reassurance and light household help — focusing on companionship rather than hands‑on personal care. Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Most of the work involves spending quality time: chatting over a cuppa, joining a local walk, supporting a hobby, reading or accompanying a client to appointments and community groups. These roles suit carers who are patient, reliable and confident at building trust. Many families in Moston and nearby areas want someone who brings calm, connection and companionship to a loved one’s day.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate and choose clients, hours and your service area — whether you want to work across Moston only or reach New Moston, Failsworth, Newton Heath, Harpurhey, Blackley and Miles Platting using New Moston, Failsworth, Newton Heath, Harpurhey, Blackley and Miles Platting. Typical companion work pays around £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the level of support and how you price your time.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you’re working on bookings we arrange, so you can concentrate on building relationships. We’re a matchmaker and back‑office, not an employer — that means the freedom to run your own self‑employed care service with administrative support.

To join you’ll need 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. We verify profiles quickly, so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re currently in agency work and want more control over your hours and clients, this route lets you keep care at the heart while being your own manager.

When you apply, create a short profile outlining your experience, your availability and the kind of companionship work you prefer. We’ll review your documents and, once verified, your profile is visible to families searching in Moston and across Manchester. There’s no obligation to accept bookings you don’t want — you remain in control of who you work with and when.
