Description
Looking for companionship care work in Stratford upon Avon that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who need friendly, reassuring company — conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care here means being the person who listens, shares interests and helps someone feel safe and connected. Typical visits include a chat over tea, accompanying a person to a GP appointment or the shops, supporting hobbies or walks in the town, and doing small domestic tasks such as putting the kettle on, light tidying or reminders. Most clients want companionship and reassurance rather than personal care.
This type of work suits carers who enjoy conversation, have patience and a warm presence, and who can commit to reliable, consistent visits. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the freedom to choose who they support and when. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this role sit around £18.80–£20 per hour. For more detailed pay options see £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145.50–£161.50 per day for live-in day rates.
PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on caring. While you work with a client, insurance is included. To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one.
We’re particularly active across Stratford upon Avon and nearby areas including Stratford, Alcester, Henley in Arden, Warwick, Austin Village and Whitnash. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain in control of your diary and the clients you accept, making it easier to balance work in Stratford upon Avon with family or other commitments in Warwickshire.
