Companionship Carer Jobs in Chudleigh

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed companionship carer in Chudleigh and offer the conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home that many local people value most. You’ll work one-to-one with families who want companionship, reassurance and a friendly face rather than intensive personal care. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties include time spent chatting over a cuppa, accompanying clients to appointments or shops, helping with simple household tasks like making snacks or light tidying, encouraging hobbies and company for someone at home. Work is based in Chudleigh and nearby areas including Bovey Tracey, Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish and Topsham; some carers travel more widely across Devon for the right matches.

This role suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships and who want flexibility. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates (many charge in the £18.89–£25 per hour), choose which clients to accept, and decide your hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Requirements to join are straightforward:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

We understand many carers move on from agency work because they want more control over their time and who they support. PrimeCarers keeps the admin and compliance in one place while you focus on people. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matched quickly.

How to apply: create your profile, confirm your documents and references, and set the times and areas you want to work. There’s no single advertised shift here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities you can shape to suit you. If you want companionship-focused work in Chudleigh and the surrounding parts of Devon, this could be a straightforward step towards more flexible, rewarding hours.
