Companion Carer Jobs in Oakengates

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, and pick the hours and area you’ll cover. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, with more detailed ranges shown as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days.

The role typically includes:

• Friendly, patient conversation and emotional support
• Accompanied outings — shops, community groups, short trips
• Encouraging hobbies, reading, games and gentle activities
• Light domestic tasks that help a client stay comfortable at home

This work suits experienced carers who value flexible, relationship-led care. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over who you work with and when, running your own self-employed profile through PrimeCarers can be a straightforward next step.

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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We regularly help carers across Oakengates and nearby areas such as Telford, Dawley, Shifnal, Madeley, Broseley and Much Wenlock and throughout Telford and Wrekin to find ongoing companion work. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single listed role.
