Description
Looking for companion care work in Bognor Regis that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with local families who want conversation, company and light practical help — trips to the seaside, hobby support, reassurance and gentle household tasks. You'll be matching with people across Bognor Regis and the surrounding area who value consistent, friendly company. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care is about conversation, shared interests and maintaining independence. Typical tasks include regular visits, going for short outings and walks, supporting hobbies and reading, prompting and reassurance, light tidying, making drinks and preparing simple snacks. This role suits experienced carers who enjoy spending time with people rather than complex clinical tasks. Many carers choose shifts that suit mornings, afternoons or a few longer sessions each week in Bognor Regis.
As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients and hours you take. Typical rates for this kind of work are shown as £18.80–£21.90 per hour. You decide your service area and can cover parts of West Sussex that work for you, including nearby towns such as Woodgate, Chichester, Littlehampton, Selsey, Arundel and Lodge Hill.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That administrative support means less time chasing paperwork and more predictable, prompt pay for the hours you do accept.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise one single role here — these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Bognor Regis and nearby towns in West Sussex for carers who value continuity and choice.
Applying takes minutes. Complete a short profile, upload references and any existing checks, and we begin verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which you can start choosing clients and booking work that fits your availability.
