Description
Looking for companionship carer work in Redhill that fits around your life and values? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who want conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of work where empathy and companionship matter more than clinical tasks. Right now, 125 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship work usually includes spending quality time, taking clients on local walks or to appointments, helping with hobbies, meal-time company and light household tasks such as tidying, making drinks or helping with shopping lists. You’ll be the friendly, reassuring presence someone relies on to feel less isolated and more confident in daily life.
This route suits carer professionals who enjoy building relationships, a calmer pace of support and flexible hours. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they appreciate setting their own boundaries, choosing the hours they take and focusing on meaningful company rather than task-driven rounds. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you cover around Redhill and across Surrey.
Pay is set by you — typical rates for this role are £18.80–£20.70 per hour for usual hourly care, with live‑in day rates shown as £145–£160 per day and standard hourly ranges shown as £18.80–£20.70 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you are working, so you can focus on care and connections rather than paperwork. You’ll remain in control of which introductions you accept.
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. If you work around Redhill, you may also be offered introductions in nearby areas such as Reigate, Beltchingley, Horley, Old Coulsdon, Coulsdon and Kenley.
If you’re ready to work more flexibly, keep the care personal and run your work the way you want, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a quick next step. You can keep doing the parts of care you love — listening, laughing, sharing interests and giving people the calm, dependable company they need — while setting your own hours and rates.
