Description
PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companionship carers with families in Poynton with Worth who need friendly, reliable company.

Typical companionship visits include sitting and chatting, accompanying someone to local shops or a café, supporting hobbies and interests, short walks, and light household help such as making a drink, preparing a simple meal or putting the washing out. These roles suit carers who enjoy building relationships, supporting independence and offering companionship rather than clinical tasks.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed. That means you set your own hourly rate (many carers choose within £18.50–£20 per hour), choose your clients and decide how far you’ll travel.
