Companion care focuses on conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly want company and reassurance. Right now, 156 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companion care shifts with PrimeCarers are flexible and varied. Typical tasks include chatting over a cup of tea, accompanying clients to local shops or parks, supporting hobbies like gardening or crafts, prompting medication and providing light household help such as tidying, preparing simple meals or changing bedding. You won’t be expected to perform complex clinical tasks unless you already have that experience and the client requests it.

This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency life while staying independent. You’ll be self-employed, set your own rates and pick the clients, hours and service area that fit you. Many carers choose roles around Biggin Hill, and some cover nearby towns like Aperfield, Downe, Leaves Green, Cudham, New Addington and Westerham. Pay depends on what you set and the work you do — typical rates for this role are £18.80–£20 per hour.
