Description

Companionship care in Lambourn is about time, conversation and reassurance. On PrimeCarers you’ll meet people who value company on walks, trips to local shops, conversations over tea, help with hobbies, and light support around the home — the kind of work where your presence matters more than complex personal care. You’ll spend time out and about in Lambourn and sometimes supporting people at home with errands or small household tasks.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who enjoy listening, getting to know someone’s life story and helping them keep a social life. You’ll arrange outings to local cafés, join a club, support a hobby, or be the friendly face that brings peace of mind to a family. Many of our carers move to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want more control and clearer, simpler admin. If you’d like predictable flexibility and fair pay you set your own rates — typical companion roles fall in the range £19.20–£22.80 per hour — and you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you.

PrimeCarers makes the practical side straightforward. We find clients for you, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed, with the freedom to accept the bookings that fit your diary and say no to those that don’t. Many of our carers work across Lambourn and nearby towns such as Hungerford, Wantage, Marlborough, Faringdon, Highworth and Newbury.

What we ask for: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll need good communication skills, patience and a genuine interest in people — companionship care is built on trust and reliability. We’re based in Berkshire and support carers across the county and surrounding areas.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit your DBS if you have one. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing clients and shifts. You’ll stay self‑employed, set your own terms, and keep the hours you want.

If you’re ready to trade agency uncertainty for clearer admin and more control over your working life in Lambourn, PrimeCarers can introduce you to families looking for companionship care. Create your profile today and be ready to start conversations, days out and calm, familiar company for local people who need it most.
