Description

PrimeCarers links self-employed carers with families in Spinningfields who mainly need company, conversation and light practical support. These roles focus on companionship — spending time over a cuppa, taking clients on local outings, supporting hobbies and offering steady, reassuring presence in the home. Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to move away from traditional agency shifts. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for companionship work sit around £18.50–£20 per hour, with flexibility to set an exact price that reflects your experience and travel. You can list both hourly availability (£18.50–£20 per hour) and live‑in day rates (£145–£160 per day) on your profile.

What companionship care looks like day to day:

  • Friendly conversation, reading or playing games to keep someone engaged.
  • Accompanying clients to cafés, short walks in parks, appointments or local outings in Spinningfields and nearby areas.
  • Supporting hobbies and interests — crafts, music, gentle gardening or local community groups.
  • Light help around the house: making light refreshments, tidying up, and helping with shopping lists or errands.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side while you focus on care. We find you clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. To join you 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 do not advertise a single role here — this page is for ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Spinningfields and the city.

You only accept clients that fit your schedule and area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable client enquiries quickly.
