Companionship work suits experienced carers who enjoy spending relaxed, meaningful time with people: a regular chat over tea, accompanying someone to a local group, supporting hobbies, doing shopping together or offering gentle encouragement around the house. Most carers in Brandon find their work is rewarding because it’s about presence, consistency and building trust. You’ll often be helping someone maintain independence and stay connected with their community in Norfolk.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the hours that suit you. Typical rates for companion care sit around £18–£20 per hour but you decide what to charge based on your experience and the support you offer. You pick clients, shifts and how far you travel — whether you prefer Brandon-only work or to cover nearby areas including Thetford, Mildenhall, Watton, Swaffham, Soham and Bury St Edmunds.

What we need from you: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We verify details quickly so profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed.

How PrimeCarers helps: we find clients, manage the contracts and take care of invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included for the hours you work through the platform. There’s no fixed rota to accept — you choose shifts that fit your life, whether you’re looking for a few hours a week in Brandon or more regular work across Norfolk.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and DBS (or request help to get one), and we’ll guide you through verification. Once approved you can start browsing client requests and accept the ones that fit your availability and values.
