Description

Looking for steady companionship work in West Bromwich that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home — the reassuring, human side of care that many clients prefer. You choose the clients you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover, and you set your own rates.

Right now, 19 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship roles are ideal if you enjoy spending time with people: chatting over tea, accompanying someone for a local walk, helping with light household tasks or supporting hobbies and social outings. Work might mean regular weekly visits or a few shorter visits each week — whatever suits you and the person you support. Many families in West Bromwich and nearby areas value continuity and a carer who becomes a friendly, reliable presence.

Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour; you can review £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly roles and £147.50–£162.50 per day for live‑in day rates when you create your profile. Because carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed you set your own rates and choose the work that fits your life. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on caring, not paperwork.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you currently work for an agency and are thinking of going self‑employed, this platform is built for that step: keep the direct client relationships and more control over your time without taking on the whole admin burden alone.

Applying takes minutes.
