Description
If you enjoy conversation, gentle outings, shared hobbies and offering reassurance at home, PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers with families around Ringway. These roles focus on being present, reducing loneliness and helping people feel safer and more confident in their own homes. Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care here means spending time with clients — chatting over tea, going for a short walk, supporting hobbies, or doing light household tasks that make daily life easier. You’ll work with people who mainly need company and reassurance rather than complex clinical care. Many families in Ringway and the wider Manchester area prefer someone reliable who can build a friendly, steady relationship.
This is a flexible, self-employed way of working. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area, and can expect typical ranges such as £18.50–£20 per hour for companionship work. For clarity, the platform also shows £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in arrangements where appropriate. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts, this role suits experienced carers who prefer deeper, one-to-one time and more control over when and where they work.
What we ask to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
