Description

Friendly, reliable companion carers are in demand across Yeadon. If you enjoy conversation, simple outings, supporting hobbies and offering reassurance in people’s homes, you can build a flexible self‑employed role that fits your life. Work with older people who mainly need company and light help around the house, helping them stay independent and connected to their community. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care with PrimeCarers usually involves spending time over a cuppa, walking locally, supporting a hobby (gardening, reading, crafts), accompanying a client to appointments or social activities, and light domestic tasks such as meal‑prep or tidying. Visits can be short calls or longer companionship sessions — whatever suits you and the family. Most clients value empathy, patience and a calm, dependable presence.

As a self‑employed carer you set your own rates and pick the work you want. Typical companion care pays £18.50–£19.80 per hour and you choose your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds people looking for companionship in Yeadon and nearby towns such as Guiseley, Horsforth, Otley, Baildon, Farsley and Shipley, and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on caring. Insurance is provided while you work through the platform.

This role suits experienced carers who prefer autonomy — people used to agency or domiciliary work who want more control over hours and who they support. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We ask for clear, truthful information so families can choose with confidence.

  • Flexible hours: Choose daytime visits, regular weekly calls or occasional longer outings.
  • Local work: Find clients across Yeadon and around West Yorkshire, keeping travel manageable.
  • Self‑directed: Set your own boundaries, skills and the types of companionship you offer.
  • Platform support: Contracts, invoicing, secure payments and insurance are taken care of while you work.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and provide references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you can start reviewing enquiries as soon as you’re approved. We’re here to support carers who want to move away from rigid rotas and agency rules toward a more independent way of working in Yeadon and the surrounding area.
