Companion Carer Jobs in Soham

If you enjoy conversation, company and gentle practical help, PrimeCarers has ongoing self-employed companion car roles across Soham. These positions focus on reassurance, social trips, hobbies and light household support for clients who mainly want company and friendliness rather than intensive personal care. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical companion work in Soham includes visiting for a chat, accompanying someone to the shops or a café, supporting craft or garden activities, and helping with simple tasks like making a drink or putting on a light meal. You’ll be chosen for matches where companionship, reliability and a calm presence matter most. Many carers work evenings, mornings or a few regular afternoons each week to fit around other commitments.

Pay is set by you — PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who set their own rates. Typical ranges for this kind of work are £19.20–£20 per hour; you can expect to see listings presented with £19.20–£20 per hour for hourly calls or £145–£160 per day for day-style live-in arrangements where relevant. You pick the clients, the hours and the area you cover, and can accept only the work that suits you in Soham and surrounding parts of Cambridgeshire.

This type of role suits experienced carers who prefer more control than traditional agency work: people who enjoy conversation, building friendships and supporting clients to stay socially active. If you’re used to pacing a visit around someone’s interests and giving reassurance rather than delivering complex clinical care, companion work could be very rewarding.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Two verifiable references
