Description
Are you an experienced carer in Holt who enjoys conversation, trips out and helping someone stay independent at home? PrimeCarers connects skilled self-employed companionship carers with families across Holt and the surrounding area, giving you the freedom to choose clients, hours and the parts of Norfolk you want to work in. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care focuses on being present: a reassuring face at tea time, a chat about the day, accompanying someone to a local event or a short walk, encouraging hobbies and providing light help with household tasks. If you prefer supporting people with company, encouragement and a calm, friendly presence rather than personal or complex clinical care, this role will suit you. Work might include shared interests, outings to shops or the seafront, support with daytime routines and gentle prompting — all delivered with dignity and patience.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose which clients and hours you accept. Typical pay for companionship work is £18–£20 per hour, with further detail available in your area via £18–£20 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for day-rate live‑in arrangements. PrimeCarers finds matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a family, so administration is much easier than running your own adverts.
This kind of work suits carers who value flexibility and true one-to-one relationships. You’ll be free to work locally across Holt and nearby towns such as Sheringham, Cromer, Reepham, Wells next the Sea, Aylsham and Fakenham, tailoring visits around a person’s interests rather than fixed rota patterns. Many carers who have left agency shifts appreciate planning their weeks, working daytime or weekend hours that fit family life, and building lasting friendships with clients.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. The application takes minutes to start; most profiles go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers does not promise specific hours, shifts or income — you choose your work and manage your availability.
