Description

If you enjoy good conversation, gentle outings and helping people keep their routines, PrimeCarers has ongoing companionship opportunities across Worksop. These roles are about company, reassurance and keeping life enjoyable — cuppa chats, walks to a local park, hobby support and light help around the home. You’ll work with people who mainly need company and a steady, familiar face rather than personal care tasks.

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

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas suit you. Many carers in Nottinghamshire use the platform to move away from block rosters and agency timetables while keeping control over their work. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour, and you can accept jobs that match the days and times you prefer.

PrimeCarers does the behind-the-scenes admin: we find introductions to families, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means you keep the flexibility of self-employment without having to build every contract or chase payments yourself.

This type of companionship work suits people who are patient, curious and reliable — those who enjoy listening, sharing stories and encouraging interests. You’ll be spending time on conversation, accompanying people on short trips out, supporting hobbies, light domestic tasks such as making drinks or tidying, and offering reassurance so clients feel safe and confident in their own homes.

Work is available across Worksop and nearby towns such as Anston, Dinnington, East Retford, Retford, Warsop and Killamarsh. Roles are ongoing rather than one-off shifts, and many carers build long-term, trusting relationships with the families they choose to work for.

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. We’ll also ask you to complete a quick profile and verification so families can see your experience and values.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review matches and accept the families and hours that suit you — keeping the control and stability you want, without agency shifts dictating your life.
