Description

Companion care in Tipton is about being the friendly, reassuring presence people rely on: conversation over a cuppa, short outings, shared hobbies and a bit of light help around the home. If you enjoy company work more than clinical tasks, this role lets you build relationships and brighten someone’s day without heavy personal care. Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you work self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the families you work with, and decide the hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour, with £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.

This work suits experienced carers who value flexibility. You’ll be spending time chatting, accompanying clients to appointments or community activities, supporting hobbies and offering reassurance. Tasks commonly include:

  • Conversation and companionship: spending quality time, reminiscing and keeping clients engaged.
  • Light household support: tidying, making drinks, preparing simple meals and prompting daily routines.
  • Outings and activities: short walks, local trips, or attending community groups.
  • Reassurance and monitoring: spotting changes and reporting them to families or the PrimeCarers team.

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 also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We ask for professional references so families can feel confident in your experience.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to leave agency constraints without losing admin support. We match you with local families across Tipton and nearby areas such as Dudley, Coseley, Ridgacre, Moxley, Netherton and Oldbury. You remain in control of your work: accept the clients, hours and travel that suit you, manage your diary and update your availability.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. There’s no single advertised post here — these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Tipton and the wider West Midlands.
