Companionship Carer Jobs in Faversham

Do you enjoy conversation, outings and helping someone feel safe and connected? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companionship carers with families across Faversham and the surrounding Kent towns. This work is about being present: chatting over a cuppa, supporting hobbies, coming out for a local walk or helping with light household tasks so someone can stay independent and reassured. Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship roles vary — some clients want an hour of friendly company each week, others prefer regular daytime visits or daytime outings. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and the area you cover. Typical pay falls in £18.80–£20 per hour (common hourly roles are around £18.80–£20 per hour with live‑in day rates shown as £145–£160 per day), so you decide what’s right for your time and skills.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy conversation, patience and building steady, trusted relationships rather than clinical care. You’ll be supporting people who mainly need company and reassurance: reading, walks, trips to local shops or cafes, hobbies, reminders and light help around the home. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas, companionship work through PrimeCarers can give you more control over your diary while keeping the meaningful side of care.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find clients, draw up contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. You remain self‑employed, so you set your rates and choose bookings that fit you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can work across Faversham and nearby towns such as Whitstable, Sittingbourne, Canterbury, Queenborough, Sheerness and Fordwich.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification and answer any questions about paperwork or local checks in Kent. If you already have an up‑to‑date DBS and references, the process is quicker.
