Description
Are you a caring, experienced support worker in Lincoln looking for a different way to work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers directly with families who want conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home. You’ll focus on reassurance and company rather than personal care tasks. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship work here in Lincoln and across Lincolnshire typically involves spending time chatting, taking clients to groups or local shops, supporting hobbies and giving families peace of mind. Tasks are gentle: making drinks, light tidying, accompanying short walks, reading together, or helping with letters and appointments. Carers often fit these visits around other commitments — daytime, evenings and weekends are all common.
On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and your service area. Many companionship carers on the platform list rates around £19.20–£21.30 per hour and decide how many hours they want each week. We find the families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work, so you can spend more time with people and less time on paperwork.
This style of work suits someone who enjoys company, has patience, curiosity and good communication. It’s a sensible next step if you’re thinking of leaving agency life but want to keep professional structure and support. You’ll build direct relationships with families in Lincoln, and nearby communities such as Bracebridge, North Hykeham, Dunston, Wragby, Market Rasen and Gainsborough, while keeping control over your diary.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and, once checks are complete, profiles typically go live within days of verification.
PrimeCarers is straightforward and transparent. You stay self-employed and set your own terms; we bring the families, take care of contracts and payments, and provide insurance during visits. If you’d like companionship-focused work in Lincoln with more autonomy and less admin, this could be the change you’re looking for.
If that sounds like the right fit, create a profile today and start choosing the clients and hours that suit your life in Lincoln and across Lincolnshire.
