Description

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced companion carers in Hedon who enjoy conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. These roles are ideal if you want to focus on companionship and reassurance rather than personal or clinical care. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship work typically includes spending time chatting, supporting hobbies, accompanying clients on local outings, helping with light household tasks and offering reassurance and company. You might help with errands, light meal prep, prompts and walking a dog, or simply being a trusted presence across Hedon and nearby areas such as Immingham, Withernsea, Hessle, Barton upon Humber, Hornsea and Beverley. This role suits people who listen well, are patient and bring warmth to everyday moments.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £18.80–£20 per hour; many carers use £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day when offering daytime live-in support. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

We’re not advertising one specific shift or employer here — we list ongoing opportunities across Hedon and the East Riding of Yorkshire so you can pick the matches that suit your life. Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You keep control: accept the clients and times that fit your schedule.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have these documents the sign-up is straightforward; if you need help with checks our team will guide you through the process.

Working through PrimeCarers gives experienced carers an alternative to traditional agency models — more autonomy over rates and rotas, with administrative support behind you. Many carers based in and around Hedon appreciate the combination of independence and a straightforward platform that handles payments and contracts.

If you’re ready to focus on companionship and make a real difference in someone’s day, create a profile with PrimeCarers. It’s quick to apply, and once verified you can start receiving client matches in and around Hedon within days.
