Description
Looking for companionship care work in North Shoebury that values conversation, company and small practical helps around the home? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who need friendly, reliable companions for outings, hobbies, shopping support and reassurance at home. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These roles suit carers who enjoy spending time with people — chatting over tea, joining in a favourite hobby, supporting short trips into town or simply being present so a client feels safer and less isolated. Companionship shifts are mainly about company and emotional support, with light domestic help such as making drinks, preparing simple meals or accompanying someone to appointments. You’ll decide how much companionship work you want, and you set your own rate from £18.89–£20 per hour.
PrimeCarers is built for experienced, self-employed carers wanting more control than agency work usually allows. You choose your clients, hours and service area, whether that’s in North Shoebury, across the seafront towards Shoeburyness or nearby neighbourhoods like Shoeburyness, Thorpe Bay, Southchurch, Southend, Southend on Sea and Prettlewell. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a booking — so you can focus on caring.
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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
