As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that suit you. Typical pay for companionship roles is £18.80–£22 per hour. You can advertise an hourly rate or a live‑in day rate using £18.80–£22 per hour and £146–£161.50 per day where appropriate. You decide your service area and availability, whether you want short daytime visits, regular afternoon calls or weekend companionship in Ledbury and nearby towns such as Malvern, Great Malvern, Newent, Upton upon Severn, Ross on Wye and Bromyard.

• Conversation and reassurance: sitting and chatting, reading together, reminiscing and giving company.
• Outings and activities: local walks, café visits, hobby groups and trips to shops or appointments.
• Light help at home: preparing drinks and snacks, light meal preparation, simple tidying and medication prompts.

This work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relaxed one‑to‑one relationships rather than hands‑on clinical care. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts, PrimeCarers lets you keep control of how you work while we find clients and take care of the administrative side. To join you’ll need 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. Insurance is provided while you are working with clients introduced by PrimeCarers, and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on caring.

Applying takes minutes and many carers have profiles live within days of verification. If you live in Ledbury, want to keep your independence and enjoy companionship work, creating a profile is a quick way to start meeting local families looking for your skills. We welcome carers across Herefordshire who care about companionship and continuity of support.
