Companionship Carer Jobs in Wylde Green

Companionship carers in Wylde Green help people stay connected, safe and engaged. The role is conversational and social: regular visits for tea and chat, going out for local walks, supporting hobbies and light help around the home where reassurance is what matters most. You’ll support people who mainly need company, emotional support and practical kindness rather than hands-on personal care. Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is a good fit for experienced carers who value time with clients and want the freedom to manage their working life. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide your service area across Wylde Green and the wider West Midlands. Many carers move to this way of working after agency roles because it gives clearer control over when and where they work.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of the paperwork. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working with a client. That means less admin for you and more time to focus on companionship, outings and meaningful visits.

What we ask for

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

Pay and practical matters are flexible. Carers set their own rates — many list around £18.50–£20 per hour for companionship work — and choose the hours that suit them. You decide whether you do short daytime visits, longer social outings, or regular weekly companionship calls in and around Wylde Green (and nearby areas such as Boldmere, Maney, Walmley Ash, Driffold, Walmley and Thimble End). Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you enjoy spending time with people, are reliable, and can bring warmth and patience to visits, this role could suit you. Wylde Green clients often value gentle conversation, a steady presence on difficult days, and encouragement to stay active in the community. The support you provide can make a real difference to someone’s day-to-day life.
