Companion care in and around Shipston on Stour and across Warwickshire is about being a calm, reliable presence. Typical activities include friendly visits, taking someone out for a walk or coffee, supporting crafts or interests, prompting medication or light domestic tasks such as making drinks and keeping a room tidy. You’ll often work with people whose main need is company and reassurance rather than clinical care. You may also support clients with short trips to nearby towns such as Moreton in Marsh, Chipping Campden, Chipping Norton, Stratford upon Avon, Stratford and Stow on the Wold.

Pay and flexibility matter. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical listings sit around £19.20–£25 per hour. You can choose which clients to accept, which hours you work and the area you cover. For reference, listings typically show the hourly range £19.20–£25 per hour and live-in day range £145–£160 per day — but you decide what to charge and when to work.

Who this suits

• Experienced carers who enjoy providing companionship, conversation and light domestic support.
• People who want flexibility — to pick clients, shifts and the travel they’ll accept across Shipston on Stour and nearby communities.
• Carers ready to work as self-employed professionals and build local relationships rather than permanent shifts for an agency.

Minimum requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
