Description
Looking for companionship work in Sevenoaks that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who need conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. You pick your clients, hours and service area — and set your own rates so the work suits you.
Right now, 68 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care here in Sevenoaks and the surrounding parts of Kent is about being present: sharing a cup of tea and conversation, doing a weekly walk or drive to the shops, supporting hobbies like gardening or crafts, and offering reassurance with light household tasks. The role suits experienced carers who enjoy building relaxed, long-term relationships rather than clinical or hands-on personal care. Many carers tell us they prefer this work because it’s conversational, flexible and focused on wellbeing.
On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed. That means you agree your own fees and can advertise shifts in the £18.80–£20 per hour range for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live-in days if you offer them. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. We also support DBS checks if you need one.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be free to accept or refuse any client — many of our carers in Sevenoaks cover nearby areas like Sundridge, Westerham, Pratts Bottom, Cudham, Chelsfield and Tonbridge and choose only the work that fits their skills and schedule.
Applying takes minutes and your profile usually goes live within days of verification. Once live, families contact you directly and you manage bookings, rates and availability. If you’re leaving agency life because you want more control over who you work for and when, PrimeCarers is designed to give that independence while taking care of the administrative side.
We welcome carers who value kindness, reliability and good conversation. If you enjoy supporting people to stay engaged with their community and hobbies — whether that’s a regular weekly visit or occasional outings — you could be a great match for companionship care in Sevenoaks. Create your profile today and start choosing work that fits your life and values.
