Companion care is about presence and patience more than personal care tasks. Typical duties include friendly visits, talking and listening, accompanying clients on short walks or to appointments, supporting hobbies and interests, and light household help such as making drinks, tidying, or preparing simple snacks. If you enjoy companionship, building rapport and creating calm, meaningful time, this role will suit you.
PrimeCarers is built for people leaving traditional agency setups. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and the area you cover. Rates for this work typically fall around £18.80–£20 per hour and you choose what feels right for you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care and connection.
Most carers who join PrimeCarers continue to live and work locally.

You’ll have the flexibility to accept only the assignments that match your skills and availability.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. The application only takes minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days.
