Companionship Carer Jobs in Swadlincote

Looking for companionship care work in Swadlincote that fits around your life? On PrimeCarers you’ll meet local families looking for conversation, outings, hobby support and light help around the home — people who mainly need company and reassurance. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship shifts often include: friendly conversation, accompanying clients on local walks or appointments, supporting hobbies and interests, light household tasks like making drinks, reminders and keeping someone safe and settled at home. These roles are about connection and consistency rather than intensive personal or clinical care. You’ll be working with people across Swadlincote and nearby areas such as Ashby Woulds, Ashby de la Zouch, Burton upon Trent, Willington, Melbourne and Hatton.

This work suits experienced carers who enjoy spending time with people and who want to move away from agency rota pressures. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate — typical pay sits around £19–£20.50 per hour — choose the clients you take on, set the hours you want and define your service area within Derbyshire. You decide whether you take short visits, regular weekly calls or longer companionship outings.

What we ask for

• Experience: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed).
• Right to work: you must have the right to work in the UK.
• References: you’ll need verifiable references from recent roles.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance for the time you’re working with a client. That means less paperwork and more time doing the job you enjoy. You remain self-employed at all times and keep full control over who you work with and when.

Applying takes minutes and many profiles go live within days once your checks and references are verified. We support carers who want to build a steady local caseload in Swadlincote, or who prefer a few flexible bookings each week. Whether you’re covering short daytime visits or regular companion calls, PrimeCarers helps with the match and the admin so you can focus on the relationship.
