Description

Are you an experienced carer in Royal Wootton Bassett who enjoys company, conversation and making small days feel brighter? Companionship care with PrimeCarers focuses on spending time with people: chatting over tea, accompanying them on local outings, supporting hobbies, and offering light practical help and reassurance around the home. You’ll work with clients who mainly need social contact and companionship rather than hands‑on clinical care.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

We help local carers build their own rounds across Royal Wootton Bassett and nearby areas like Cricklade, Calne, Malmesbury, Highworth, Chippenham and Marlborough. As a self‑employed carer you set your own rates and availability, with many carers using £19–£22 per hour as a guide. You choose which clients to accept, which hours to work and how far to travel within Wiltshire. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on caring.

This role suits someone who values conversation, patience and companionship more than clinical tasks. Typical duties include accompanying clients to shops or cafés, helping with light household tasks, encouraging hobbies, reading, playing games, or simply being a reassuring presence at home. You’ll often be the person who makes a client’s day feel less lonely and more connected.

To join PrimeCarers you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed. We do not promise set hours or income, but we do make it straightforward to find local clients and manage the paperwork so you can build a sustainable self‑employed care offering.

Applying only takes minutes. Create a profile, upload documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Many carers who move from agency work appreciate the freedom to choose clients, manage travel and keep more of what they earn while staying focused on the companionship work they enjoy.
