Companion Carer Jobs in Wickwar

Companion care in Wickwar is about company, conversation and confidence. You’ll spend time chatting, taking clients for short outings, supporting hobbies and offering light help around the home for people whose main need is reassurance and company. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role is ideal if you value time to build a trusting relationship rather than task-focused care. In South Gloucestershire and the surrounding villages you’ll focus on being present: making a cuppa and a conversation, supporting local walks, reading or joining in hobbies, and gently helping with small household tasks when needed.

If you’re already working as a carer and are thinking about moving away from agency routines, this is set up for experienced, self-employed carers who want control. Carers on PrimeCarers choose their own clients, hours and service area, so you can work around family, other jobs or study. Many carers who cover Wickwar also accept bookings in nearby areas such as Yate, Wotton under Edge, Chipping Sodbury, Thornbury, Dursley and Woodhouse Park.

Pay is flexible because you set your own rates; typical companion work falls in the range £19–£24 per hour depending on the client and visit. PrimeCarers makes administration straightforward: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed and in control of how much you accept and when.

What we ask:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is live you can review client requests and accept the ones that suit you. PrimeCarers manages payments and paperwork so you can focus on care and companionship.

We’re looking for carers who are reliable, kind and good at listening. If you want regular, meaningful work in and around Wickwar, with the freedom to set your terms, joining PrimeCarers could be the next step. Apply now and have your profile ready to take bookings within days.
