Share company, conversation and calm reassurance with older people in and around Malmesbury.

Carers are self‑employed, choose their clients and set their own rates. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rounds and take more control. You’ll spend time listening, planning activities, helping with short trips out and supporting household tasks that make a client’s day brighter. You can work across Malmesbury and nearby towns such as Tetbury, Manor House, Chippenham, Nailsworth, Minchinhampton and Royal Wootton Bassett, and across Wiltshire where demand for companionship support is growing.

Pay and flexibility: you set your fees and decide which jobs to accept. Typical pay for these roles is £19–£22 per hour and you can adjust your rate according to the hours and travel involved. You choose your clients, the hours you offer and the area you cover — giving you genuine flexibility to fit care around your life.
