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

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who want to step away from agency rota constraints and choose who they work with. You set your own rates and availability, and many carers charge within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the household and duties. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on being present with the person you’re supporting.

Typical companionship duties include sitting and chatting, supporting hobbies, accompanying clients on local short outings, light domestic tasks like making drinks, reminders and providing reassurance. Roles are often in private homes across Coggeshall and nearby towns such as Witham, Halstead, Braintree, Colchester, Heybridge and Maldon, so you can build a sustainable patch of work close to home.

This kind of work suits friendly, reliable carers who enjoy company work more than clinical tasks. You’ll get to build longer-term relationships and offer continuity of care — a real change if you’re tired of variable agency shifts.

• Pay and flexibility: You’re self-employed and set your own rates. Many carers use £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates where appropriate. Remember PrimeCarers makes invoicing straightforward and handles payments for you.
• Requirements to join: At least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
