Companionship care is ideal if you enjoy spending time with people: chatting over tea, joining local walks, supporting hobbies like gardening or crafts, accompanying someone to appointments or helping with simple household tasks. It’s not clinical nursing — it’s reassurance, company and practical support that keeps people connected to their communities in Settle, Hetton and nearby villages.

On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed and set your own rate. Typical pay for companionship roles sits around £19–£21.50 per hour depending on the client and the hours you agree. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on caring rather than admin.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life often allows. You can choose short regular calls, weekly afternoon visits, or longer outings on days that suit you. You pick the neighbourhoods you’ll cover — many carers who live in Settle also work in Hetton, Bentham, Grassington, Barnoldswick, Downham and Skipton and into other parts of North Yorkshire.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify these quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We don’t promise specific hours or income — you select clients and build your own schedule.

If you’re used to agency shifts but want to keep the caring role at the heart of your work while gaining flexibility and control, Settle has steady demand for companionship care. Get started in minutes, create a profile that shows the person you are, and start choosing the clients that fit your skills and life.
