Description

We’re looking for experienced, compassionate carers in Horley who want to focus on companionship: conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities that suit people who enjoy building relationships and offering reassurance rather than frequent personal care tasks. Right now, 45 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves spending quality time with clients — chatting over tea, supporting trips to shops or parks, accompanying people to appointments and helping with small household tasks that keep a home comfortable. You’ll be supporting clients who value company and continuity; many families in Horley prefer a familiar face rather than frequent rota changes.

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to work for yourself in Surrey: carers on the platform are self‑employed, set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area to accept. Typical rates for companionship roles sit in £19–£21.50 per hour. We handle the contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on caring.

This kind of work suits people who already have at least a year of professional care experience and who enjoy conversational, community‑focussed support rather than heavy personal care. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over your time and who you work with, Horley offers steady demand from families looking for companionship and reassurance. You’ll meet people of different ages and backgrounds and often work locally — around Horley and nearby towns such as Crawley, Redhill, Reigate, Beltchingley, East Grinstead and Dorking.

To join you’ll need: a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable client introductions quickly.

If you value friendly, relationship‑led care and want to set your own terms in Horley, PrimeCarers is built to make that practical. Create your profile, choose the families you want to work with and manage your own diary — we support the admin side so you can get on with the things that matter most: people, company and kindness.
