Companionship Carer Jobs in Redcar

If you enjoy conversation, gentle companionship and helping someone get out and about, PrimeCarers is looking for self-employed companionship carers across Redcar. Typical visits involve tea-and-chat, local outings, supporting hobbies, and light help around the home — reassurance, prompting and company rather than intensive personal or clinical care. You’ll work with people who value friendly, dependable support and want to stay connected to their communities in Redcar and Cleveland.
Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, self-employed work: you choose which clients to accept, the hours you work and the area you cover (many carers in the area cover Redcar and nearby towns such as Eston, Saltburn by the Sea, Skelton in Cleveland, Guisborough, Loftus and Billingham). Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and usually work within a typical range of £18.50–£20 per hour depending on experience and the visit type. We also list typical hourly and live-in ranges where helpful: £18.50–£20 per hour and £142.50–£160 per day.

What the role looks like day-to-day in Redcar: you might spend an hour over lunch chatting and catching up, take someone for a short walk along the promenade, help with a hobby or paperwork, or sit with a client while a family member is out. The emphasis is companionship, encouragement and keeping people engaged with everyday life. If you prefer predictable morning or afternoon visits, or occasional longer outings, you set that with your clients.

PrimeCarers handles the parts you don’t want to: we introduce you to local families, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working through the platform. To join you 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. You won’t be tied into long contracts; you remain self-employed and in control of your diary.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active, families across Redcar and the surrounding towns will be able to contact you directly. If you’re already thinking about leaving agency life or want more flexibility, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to keep doing what you do best while earning directly from your skills.
