Description
We’re looking for experienced self-employed carers who enjoy conversation, local outings and gentle support in people’s homes across Skegness. You’ll spend time with clients doing hobbies, companionship visits, short trips to town and light help around the house — the kind of reassuring company that keeps someone living well at home. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care in Skegness is perfect if you prefer relationship-based work over clinical tasks. Typical duties include sitting and chatting, planning and joining outings, supporting hobbies, prompting meals and medication, and doing simple household tasks like making drinks, light tidying and accompanying appointments. Work usually suits carers who value flexibility and continuity rather than shift-driven rota work.
As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you take on. Typical roles pay around £15–£25 per hour, and you decide what you’ll charge. PrimeCarers finds clients, draws up contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you keep the hands-on care in your day while we cover the paperwork.
Most companionship opportunities are in Skegness and nearby towns such as Burgh le Marsh, Wainfleet, Alford, Spilsby, Mablethorpe and Sutton and Mablethorpe, with roles across coastal and inland parts of Lincolnshire. You’ll be matched with families looking for ongoing support rather than one-off visits, and many carers build regular bookings that fit their life.
To join you need at least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have one yet. We verify documents quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
PrimeCarers is aimed at carers moving away from agency-style work who want more control over who they support and when. If you value meaningful, social support work, want to set your own hours and keep a fair share of your earnings, this could be the change you’re looking for in Skegness and across Lincolnshire.
