PrimeCarers lists ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Stoke on Trent and nearby areas including Fenton, Hanley Grange, Newcastle under Lyme, Longton, Burslem and Tunstall. This page advertises connecting with families — not one specific role — so you pick the clients, hours and areas that suit you. Many companion shifts are during mornings, afternoons or regular calls for companionship rather than clinical care, making them ideal if you prefer steady, relationship‑based work.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and availability. Typical pay sits in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, with flexibility to choose shorter visits or longer companionship sessions depending on a client’s needs. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on caring rather than paperwork.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who enjoy social interaction, practical kindness and helping people remain active in their communities. If you like taking a client for a grocery shop, a local café visit, a walk in the park, board games, or helping with letters and light household tasks while offering reassurance, companionship work in Stoke on Trent will fit well.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. We do not employ carers — you work self‑employed with the freedom to choose clients and hours, and PrimeCarers supports the back‑office tasks so you can concentrate on care.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts or want more control over your work in Stoke-on-Trent, joining PrimeCarers gives you the flexibility to build the companion work you want while keeping the admin simple.
