Description

Are you an experienced carer in Cullompton who enjoys company, conversation and gentle support? PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers with families looking for reassuring visits, outings, hobby support and light help around the home. You’ll be matching to clients who mainly want companionship and peace of mind rather than intensive personal care.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical tasks include spending quality time chatting, accompanying people on local outings, supporting hobbies and interests, and doing light household tasks such as making drinks, tidying after activities or helping with shopping lists. Visits often focus on emotional support, keeping company and practical reassurance rather than clinical tasks. Many carers organise regular calls, garden visits, short walks and trips to local cafes, always working at a pace that suits the person they’re supporting in Cullompton and the surrounding area including Bradninch, Tiverton, Ottery St Mary, Honiton, Wellington and Exeter.

This role suits friendly, patient people who want more control than agency work allows. If you prefer choosing who you support, setting your own hours and shaping visits around clients’ routines, companionship care could be a great fit. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and working pattern and can accept only the clients you want.

Pay and flexibility: You set your rate from the market range and can accept bookings that suit you. Typical local rates sit around £18.89–£25 per hour and many carers find short regular visits plus occasional longer outings give a comfortable balance between income and lifestyle. Pay varies by the care needed and the hours you choose.

What you need to join: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies these quickly so your profile can go live within days after checks are complete.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work on bookings found through the platform. That means you can focus on the care and companionship you provide, not the paperwork.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, provide the required checks and references, and start reviewing local opportunities across Cullompton and nearby towns. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Devon and looking for work that fits around your life, this is a straightforward way to move from agency shifts to more flexible, rewarding companionship work.
