Description

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companionship carers with families in Poynton with Worth who need friendly, reliable company. This work focuses on conversation, outings, hobbies and gentle help around the home — reassuring presence rather than intensive personal care. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours and the service area, and you set your own rates.

Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

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. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on the care side. You can work across Poynton with Worth and nearby communities such as Stockport, Cheadle Hulme, Bollington, New Mills, Cheadle and Wilmslow.

To join you need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references
