Description

Are you an experienced carer in Crowborough who enjoys conversation, outings and light help at home? Companionship care on PrimeCarers is about spending quality time with people who value company, reassurance and a steady friendly face. You’ll support hobbies, join short trips into town, help with small household tasks and offer calm presence for people who mainly need company. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing opportunities suit carers who prefer a gentler, relationship-led role rather than clinical or heavy personal care. Work typically involves chat over a cuppa, accompaniment to appointments or shops, help with hobbies and simple domestic support. You decide whether to specialise in short daytime visits, longer afternoons, regular weekly calls or occasional outings across Crowborough and nearby towns like Tunbridge Wells, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, Wadhurst, Heathfield and Southborough.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for companionship roles ranges from £19–£22.50 per hour, with more detail often shown as £19–£22.50 per hour for hourly bookings and £148–£165 per day for day rates where relevant. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are working with clients.

Who this suits

  • Carers who value meaningful conversation and company over clinical tasks.
  • People who want control over when and where they work across Crowborough and East Sussex.
  • Experienced carers looking to move away from agency rotas but keep client-focused support.

Joining is straightforward but we do check that you have at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You will also need an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help you arrange this if you don’t already have one.

Apply in minutes: create a profile, submit your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there PrimeCarers will connect you with families seeking companionship care and manage contracts and payments so you can focus on the people you support.
