Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity, not a single job listing. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and the area they want to cover. We commonly see requests for companionship work in Sedgefield and nearby towns such as Ferryhill, Newton Aycliffe, Spennymoor, Billingham, Fairfield and Stockton on Tees, and we also cover parts of Durham where families need reliable, friendly support.

What companionship work typically involves:

• Conversation and companionship: regular visits to sit and chat, reminisce, read together or simply be company.
• Outings and activities: joining a client for local walks, appointments, shopping or social groups.
• Light help at home: making drinks, light meal prep, prompting medication, and helping keep the home welcoming.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands: you choose your rate and hours (typical rates are £18.50–£20 per hour). PrimeCarers handles client finding, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline clients and shifts that suit your life.

Who this suits
