This work suits experienced carers who prefer the flexibility and autonomy of being self-employed. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that suit you.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the paperwork: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you work.

Companionship care is often about consistency and trust. You might visit the same person weekly for a couple of hours to keep them company, accompany them to local appointments, help maintain hobbies like reading or gardening, or provide light support with domestic tasks that enable independence. These roles are ideal if you value building relationships and offering calm reassurance rather than delivering clinical or intensive personal care.
