Companionship Carer Jobs in Petersfield

Companionship care in Petersfield is about conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll spend time listening, encouraging independence and offering calm, friendly support — at home, on a walk or out at a local café.

Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships rather than delivering hands-on clinical care. If you like gentle routine, helping someone keep connected with their community and supporting small practical tasks like making a drink, tidying up or prompting medication reminders, companionship shifts are a great fit. Many carers find the role rewarding because it’s about being present and dependable.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you want to work across Petersfield, in the surrounding towns or further into Hampshire. You also set your own rate; typical pay for this role is £18.50–£21 per hour. You’ll be protected while you work: PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance for the hours you’re on duty.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced professionals: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need to show those references during verification before your profile goes live.

• What you’ll do — Offer companionship, friendly conversation, local outings, hobbies and light household support. Focus is on reassurance, social connection and keeping clients engaged with life.
• Who this suits — Kind, patient carers with at least a year’s experience who prefer relationship-based work over clinical tasks.
• Practical points — Set your own hours, choose who you work with, and serve Petersfield and nearby areas such as Coombe, Whitehill, Bordon, Midhurst, Waterlooville and Alton.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
