Description
Looking for companionship care work in Fleet that fits around your life, not the other way round? As a self-employed carer with PrimeCarers you focus on conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You set your own approach, choose your clients and hours, and set rates that suit you — many carers use £19–£22.50 per hour.
What companion care looks like: regular visits for tea and chats, walks in the park, trips to local cafes, help with hobbies or light household tasks that make everyday life easier. The role suits experienced carers who enjoy building relaxed, ongoing relationships and who prefer to support someone’s independence rather than deliver clinical care. Many of our carers cover Fleet and nearby areas such as Blackwater and Hawley, Farnborough, West Green, North Camp, Aldershot and Yateley, helping neighbours stay connected and engaged.
How PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers: we find you clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can concentrate on the relationship. While you’re working with a client you’re covered by insurance included through the platform. You remain self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates.
Requirements to join are straightforward and fair. You’ll need 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. If you’ve been working through agencies in Hampshire and want more control over the work you do and the people you work with, this could be the next step.
Pay and flexibility: because carers set their own rates you decide how much to charge for companionship visits and whether to accept occasional longer outings or regular weekly calls. Typical hourly rates sit around £19–£22.50 per hour, and you can accept or decline any client or shift. We never promise incomes or set schedules — you keep the freedom.
Applying is quick — it takes minutes to create a profile, and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers alerts suitable families and handles the introductions and paperwork. If you want to move away from agency rotas and choose who you support in Fleet and across Hampshire, it’s simple to get started.
