Companion Carer Jobs in Selly Park

If you enjoy spending time with people and helping them keep living well at home, PrimeCarers is looking for self-employed companion carers around Selly Park. Companion care is about conversation, days out, shared hobbies and light practical help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Selly Park and nearby streets for carers who want more control over their work and better relationships with the people they support.

Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers list rates around £18.50–£20 per hour and you can enter whatever you believe reflects your experience and travel. Typical hourly booking ranges are often shown as £18.50–£20 per hour and live-in day arrangements commonly appear within £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work—so you can focus on companionship and safe, friendly visits.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer one-to-one connections to task-driven rounds. If you have at least one year of professional care experience and can provide verifiable references, you’re already partway there. You’ll also need the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check; if you don’t have one yet, PrimeCarers can help arrange it. We’re looking for people who value kindness, patience and reliability rather than medical or complex clinical duties.

PrimeCarers is a simple route in: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you review matches and choose the people and shifts you want. Many carers on the platform work part-time around other commitments or build a steady roster of companionship calls. If you live in Selly Park or nearby — including Bournbrook, Selly Oak, Moor Green, Stirchley, Weoley Hill and Bournville — you can set a local service area and accept only the jobs that work for you.

This is not a single job listing. It’s an ongoing introduction service connecting self-employed carers with families in Selly Park and the West Midlands who need supportive, sociable care. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and start seeing suitable introductions within days. If you’re ready to trade agency shifts for more autonomy and rewarding companionship work, PrimeCarers can help you make the change.
