Companionship care here in Syston suits people who already have at least a year of professional care experience and who enjoy spending time with someone, helping them get out and about, keeping an eye on wellbeing and supporting routines. Tasks are mainly social and practical: tea‑time chats, trips to the shops or café, walks, attending local groups, gentle prompts with daily tasks and small household jobs where needed.
With PrimeCarers you work as self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept and decide your working area and hours. Typical companion roles on the platform fall within £18.60–£20 per hour, with other listings shown using £18.60–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day where applicable. You can pick short morning visits, longer afternoon companionship, or daytime outings around Syston or nearby towns such as Oadby, Loughborough, Braunstone Town, Wigston Magna, Melton Mowbray and Shepshed.
PrimeCarers finds matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on the platform. That means less paperwork for you and more time doing the care you enjoy. Applying takes minutes and, once your documents are verified, profiles typically go live within days — so you can start seeing local opportunities quickly.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’re looking for dependable, kind people who value companionship work and want more control over who they support and when.
