Description
Looking for companionship care work in Hatfield that values your time and experience? On PrimeCarers you’ll support people who mainly need company and reassurance — conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home. You decide which visits to accept and how you work. Right now, 135 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical days include chatting over tea, accompanying someone to a local café or park, supporting hobbies and short community trips, and helping with simple household tasks like making light meals or tidying. Many clients want a steady, friendly presence rather than clinical care, so this role suits carers who enjoy conversation, patience and building trust. You’ll find opportunities across Hatfield and within easy reach of other parts of Hertfordshire.
Pay and practicalities are straightforward. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, with typical ranges shown as £18.80–£20.50 per hour. You can pick the hours and neighbourhoods you work in; many carers list £18.80–£20.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care and companionship.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references.
