Description

If you enjoy conversation, gentle outings and helping someone continue with hobbies and everyday routines, PrimeCarers in Waterlooville could be a better way to work.

You choose which people to support, when you work and the areas you cover. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care on PrimeCarers suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency shifts but keep the variety and human contact that make this work meaningful. Typical tasks include conversational visits, walking together, taking clients to appointments or cafés, supporting hobbies, simple meal prep and light tidying—basically being reliable company and reassurance. Many carers in Waterlooville and across Hampshire value the quieter, relationship‑focused nature of this work.

Pay and practicalities are straightforward: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates—typically £18.80–£22 per hour—and decide whether to accept short visits or longer sessions. You can set your hourly rate within £18.80–£22 per hour or offer live‑in day rates within £148–£165 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain in control of who you support and the hours you take on.

To join, you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Many carers covering Waterlooville also take shifts in nearby towns such as Havant, Emsworth, Portchester, Coombe, Wickham and Fareham.
