Companionship Carer Jobs in Tewkesbury

We’re looking for experienced carers in Tewkesbury who enjoy conversation, day trips, shared hobbies and light practical help around the home. Companionship care is about being a calm, reliable presence — making tea and staying for a chat, supporting someone on local outings, or helping with small household tasks so a client feels safe and reassured. Work can take place across Tewkesbury and nearby towns such as Upton upon Severn, Cheltenham, Winchcombe, Greet, Pershore and Gloucester.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity for self‑employed carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You set your own rates and hours, choose which clients you accept and define the area you work in. Typical pay is £18.80–£21.50 per hour, but you decide what to charge based on the time, travel and duties involved. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Companionship roles suit people who are patient, good at listening and enjoy keeping someone company — whether that’s playing board games, going for a short walk, reading together, or helping with shopping and light housework. If you’re used to agency work but want greater variety and autonomy in Tewkesbury and wider Gloucestershire, this could be a better fit.

To join you’ll need at least one 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 one if you don’t already have it. We do ask for references so families can feel confident, and we verify identities before profiles go live.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and DBS (or tell us if you need help getting one), and we’ll verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which you can review client requests and accept work that fits your schedule. This platform advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than any single placement.

If you’re ready to keep someone company, offer reassurance and be rewarded for your experience, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to work for yourself in Tewkesbury. Create your profile today and start choosing the hours and clients that suit you.
