Companionship care in Weoley Castle is about being present: a friendly visit over tea, a trip to a local park, support at a hobby group, or gentle household help so someone can stay living comfortably. You’ll help clients stay connected to life in Weoley Castle and nearby areas like Shenley Fields, Shenley Green, Middle Quinton, Weoley Hill, Northfield and California, tailoring visits to the person’s interests and needs.

Pay is flexible because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical rates fall around £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support you offer and times you work. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work.

This type of role suits people who already have at least one year of professional care experience, enjoy conversation and companionship, and want more control over their work pattern than traditional routes usually offer. It’s a good step for experienced carers thinking about moving away from agency models who want direct relationships with families and predictable paperwork support.

To join you need: a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification and checks so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload or arrange checks and references, then choose the clients and hours you want. You remain self-employed throughout, set your own availability and decide which bookings to accept. If you like working locally, building long-term companionships and keeping paperwork straightforward, this could be the right next step in Weoley Castle and the West Midlands.
