Companion Carer Jobs in Sandiacre

PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families in Sandiacre and across Derbyshire who mainly need company, reassurance and gentle practical help. Typical companion work includes conversation, trips out, supporting hobbies, collecting a prescription, light household tasks and being someone reliable to check in with.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who enjoy spending time with someone, building trust and helping people feel safer and less isolated. You’ll be meeting clients who value companionship more than clinical care — afternoons for walks, an hour for a board game or regular tea-time visits are all typical. You decide which offers to accept, which areas of Sandiacre you’ll cover and how many hours you want.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients and hours. Many carers set their rates within £18.80–£21 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Companionship care is ideal if you have at least a year of professional care experience and enjoy non-clinical support: chatting, listening, planning outings, encouraging hobbies, light meal prep and small household tasks. You’ll often be the reassuring face families rely on in Sandiacre and nearby towns such as Stapleford, Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Beeston, Kimberley and Bulwell.

• Minimum experience: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange one.
• Verification: the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Working through PrimeCarers gives you flexibility familiar to many carers who’ve moved from agency work: you remain self-employed, you set your hourly or day rates, and you control the hours you accept. We support the back office so you can focus on the people you care for. If you need help with checks, contracts or payments, PrimeCarers handles those practicalities while you deliver care across Sandiacre and around Derbyshire.
