Many clients in Kesgrave and across Suffolk are mainly looking for good company — conversation, outings, help with hobbies, a lift to appointments and light help around the house. Companionship visits are some of the most rewarding work on PrimeCarers. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Pay: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates.
