Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed companionship carer in Ruscote and offer company, conversation and gentle practical help to people who value reassurance and a friendly face. Typical duties include chats over tea, supporting hobbies, local outings, light help around the home and being a steady, calm presence. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers in and around Ruscote who want to move away from agency constraints. If you enjoy building relationships — taking someone to the shops, helping with a craft or simply being reliable company — companionship shifts can be deeply rewarding and less physically demanding than some care roles. Many carers tell us they prefer the pace and connection these roles bring in Ruscote and neighbouring areas.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you choose your own clients, hours and service area. You set your own rates and see the full detail of a family's needs before you accept work. Typical pay is £19.20–£22 per hour, with live figures shown on profiles as £19.20–£22 per hour and £145–£160 per day where applicable. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance while you work is included. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We support people already working in Oxfordshire and in nearby towns such as Neithrop, Banbury, Brackley, Shipston on Stour, Chipping Norton and Southam who want more control over their hours and who they work with.

How to apply: create a profile, upload your documents and references and choose the types of companionship work you prefer. The process is straightforward, designed for busy carers, and you can start reviewing suitable client requests very quickly. If you value flexibility, better control of your working life and the chance to build meaningful local relationships in Ruscote, this could be the change you’re looking for.
