Description
Companionship care in Hornsea is for people who enjoy conversation, short outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home. Many local clients want reassurance, company and someone to join them for a walk, a coffee or a craft session rather than full personal care. If you prefer visits that focus on being present and building relationships, this role fits naturally into Hornsea life and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire community.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and streets you’ll cover. Typical pay for companion care is around £18.80–£20 per hour, with more detail available for hourly and live-in arrangements: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on the people you support.
This kind of work suits experienced care professionals who value flexibility and respect for their time. Many carers switching from agencies appreciate being able to accept only the visits they want, plan their week around other commitments, and build ongoing relationships instead of moving through shifts.
