Work as a companion carer if you enjoy purposeful conversation, enjoy getting out locally and can offer calm, reliable companionship. Many clients in Dartmouth and nearby towns appreciate company for walks, trips to local cafés, hobby sessions and light domestic tasks that make daily life easier. You’ll be self‑employed on PrimeCarers, so you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for companion care in the area is £18.80–£23 per hour.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the contract, invoicing and payments for the time you work, and insurance is included while you are with a client. That means less paperwork for you and clearer, quicker payment arrangements so you can focus on the care itself.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help you arrange one if required), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve been thinking about leaving agency routines, self‑employed companion work through PrimeCarers gives you more control over your diary and the people you support without losing the practical admin and payment support a platform provides.

Many carers choose to work across Dartmouth and the surrounding Devon communities — including Brixham, Paignton, Totnes, Sherford, Torquay and Kingsbridge — to build a steady pattern of visits that fits family and personal commitments.

Applying takes minutes. Fill in a short profile, upload documents and references, and once we verify your details your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then be able to connect with families looking for the kind of companionship and reassurance you provide.
