Most of the people you’ll meet want someone to call a friendly regular: a companion for a walk, a listener over tea, a help with errands or a bit of tidying and meal preparation so they can stay independent. Work in Sherford often includes trips to local shops, joining clubs, accompanying to appointments and keeping routines simple, steady and sociable. You’ll build ongoing relationships rather than do task-only visits.

This is for carers who prefer flexibility. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, pick the hours that suit you and define the service area you cover. Typical pay is shown as £18.80–£21.50 per hour, with more detailed ranges available for hourly and live-in work: £18.80–£21.50 per hour and £145.50–£165.50 per day.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you’re working through the platform, so you can focus on care and companionship.

Who this suits: experienced carers with a warm, patient manner who enjoy talking, planning outings and supporting hobbies. If you’re comfortable helping with light domestic tasks, encouraging social activity and providing reassurance, this role will feel rewarding. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this for you.
