Description

If you enjoy spending time with older people, helping them stay connected and calm, companion care in Hunstanton could be the change you’re after. You’ll focus on conversation, days out, shared hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of support that brings reassurance more than clinical care. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hunstanton and nearby parts of Norfolk. Carers choose their own clients, hours and service area, and set their own rates. Typical rates for this kind of work are £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work.

What you’ll do day to day:

  • Spend time chatting, reading, playing games or supporting hobbies.
  • Accompany people on short outings — local strolls, cafés, community events.
  • Provide light household help and reassurance to reduce loneliness and support independence.
  • Keep clear notes and communicate with families or professionals where needed.

This work suits carers who prefer relationship-led support over clinical tasks. It’s ideal if you value flexibility and want to build steady local work in Hunstanton, or travel a little to neighbouring towns such as Kings Lynn, Wells next the Sea, Skegness, Wainfleet, Fakenham and Burgh le Marsh. You’ll be self-employed, so you control the hours you accept and the clients you work with.

To join we ask for 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. PrimeCarers checks your documents and references so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
