Description

Work with people in Tyburn who mainly want company, conversation and reassurance. As a companion carer you’ll focus on tea-time chats, trips out, shared hobbies and light practical help around the home to keep someone safe and connected. You’ll support emotional wellbeing as much as daily routine.

Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work across Tyburn and the surrounding parts of the West Midlands. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you cover, and you set your own rates to reflect your experience and travel. Typical pay falls within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support chosen; many carers charge within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Day-to-day companion care often includes:

  • Conversation and emotional support—regular visits, phone calls and reassuring presence.
  • Outings and activities—local walks, cafes, hobbies, church or community groups.
  • Light household help—making drinks, simple meals, reminders and companionship while tasks are done.

This work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships and want flexibility. It’s ideal if you’re ready to move away from agency rotas or want to run your own hours in Tyburn, while keeping the safety net of contracts and admin done for you. We regularly have opportunities near Birches Green, Pype Hayes, Bromford, Erdington, Castle Vale and Walmley Ash.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. You register as self-employed, so you manage tax and national insurance accordingly. PrimeCarers supports you with client matching, written contracts and prompt payments so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Set your service area in Tyburn, choose the types of companionship you offer, and start seeing matches once checks are complete.

If you value companionship work and want to stay independent while getting reliable admin and insurance cover, create a profile with PrimeCarers and start connecting with local families in Tyburn who need friendly, trusted support.
