Description

If you enjoy conversation, company and gentle support, PrimeCarers has ongoing self-employed companionship opportunities in Weston Otmoor. You’ll spend time chatting, joining clients on local outings, supporting hobbies and doing light household tasks that help people feel safe and valued. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship work suits experienced carers who want more choice in their day-to-day. In Weston Otmoor you could help someone with short visits for tea and a chat, accompany them to appointments or community groups, support hobbies and crafts, or provide reassurance during routine domestic tasks. Visits are usually relaxed, social and focused on dignity and companionship rather than clinical care.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area (many carers cover Weston Otmoor and nearby towns such as Weston super Mare, Burnham on Sea, Axbridge, Clevedon, Highbridge and Penarth). You set your own rates and availability. Typical pay for these roles is £18.80–£23.50 per hour; for reference our usual ranges are £18.80–£23.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, with insurance included while you work.

What we ask from carers joining in Weston Otmoor and North Somerset:

  • At least one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

We’re looking for people who are patient, reliable and good at building rapport. If you’re leaving agency work you’ll appreciate being able to choose shifts that fit your life, keep the same clients where you want to, and avoid mandatory rotas or call‑outs. Many carers keep a mixture of regular calls and ad hoc visits to retain variety and steady hours.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify your details — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers will introduce you to suitable families and support the contracting and payment process so you can focus on care and companionship in Weston Otmoor and across North Somerset.
