Description
Looking for companionship care work in South Molton that fits your life and experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with local families who want conversation, outings and light help at home. You'll support people who mainly need company, reassurance and someone reliable to share hobbies or a cup of tea.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Typical companionship shifts include regular visits for conversation, accompanying someone to appointments or community activities, helping with hobbies and offering reassurance around the home. This is the kind of work that suits experienced carers who enjoy chatting, getting out and about, and building steady, trusting relationships rather than task-focused care. You’ll be free to accept visits that match your strengths — companionship, gentle support and companionship-focused assistance.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers use the platform to offer rates around £19–£19.20 per hour while some set bespoke prices by agreement. For clarity, typical care ranges are shown as £19–£19.20 per hour for hourly visits and £148–£164 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on caring and building relationships.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’re currently with an agency and want more control over who you support and when, this could be the right next step. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
We support carers across North Devon and the surrounding area, including towns such as Chulmleigh, Barnstaple, Ten Acres, Dulverton, Great Torrington and Lynton. Whether you want a few companionship visits a week or regular daytime support, you can decide the pattern that suits you and your clients.
If you value kindness, conversation and gentle support more than heavy clinical tasks, PrimeCarers is built for that work. Create a profile, choose the clients who fit your approach, and keep control of your time and rates while PrimeCarers manages the admin and payments.
