Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who enjoy building relationships rather than doing clinical care. You’ll be self-employed, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates. PrimeCarers finds you families looking for companionship care and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work. Many carers list typical pay as £19–£25 per hour depending on the visit type and hours.

Day-to-day the work typically includes conversation, accompanying someone to appointments or shops, supporting hobbies and short trips out, prompting and light support with household tasks such as making drinks, simple meal prep or tidying. These visits can be a once-weekly catch-up, regular daytime calls or longer companion sessions: how you shape your diary is up to you.

This is ideal if you’re used to agency work and want more control. You choose who to accept, which shifts to take and how far you’ll travel. Many carers working through PrimeCarers cover Attleborough and nearby towns such as Hingham, Wymondham, Watton, Diss, Dereham and Thetford.

Who can apply: you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. Profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Pay & flexibility: as a self-employed carer you set your rate within your profile and negotiate directly with families through the platform. Typical hourly-care ranges are shown as £19–£25 per hour while live-in day rates appear as £145–£160 per day on relevant listings. You remain free to accept or decline any booking.
