Companion Carer Jobs in Great Torrington

Looking for companion care work in Great Torrington that puts you in control? Companion carers offer conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. These roles suit experienced, empathetic carers who enjoy spending relaxed, meaningful time with clients rather than clinical or personal-care tasks.
Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, your hours and your service area across Great Torrington and parts of Devon. You’ll support people with grocery runs, going for walks, attending local groups, reading, games, reminiscing and providing reassurance when families can’t be there. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on the relationship and the moment.

Pay is set by you. Typical rates for companion care fall in the range £19–£20 per hour, and many carers set hourly fees within £19–£20 per hour or choose live-in day rates around £145–£160 per day depending on the arrangement. You decide what to charge and which bookings to accept — there’s no fixed rota and no agency restrictions to work around.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you’re tired of agency constraints but want client referrals and the admin taken care of, this could be the next step in your care career in Great Torrington. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Choose to work in Great Torrington, nearby towns including Bideford, Northam, Barnstaple, Highampton, Hatherleigh and Ten Acres and across Devon. You remain self-employed, set your availability and build the kind of companionship work that suits you and your clients. Insurance is included while you’re matched through PrimeCarers and we handle invoicing and secure payment processing, so you can focus on quality time and reliable companionship.

Ready to get started? Create a profile, upload a reference or DBS if you have one (we can help with DBS), and start choosing clients who match your experience and interests. Many carers join within minutes and begin taking bookings in days.
