Companionship work suits carers who enjoy chatting, accompanying clients to cafés or green spaces, supporting interests like gardening or crafts, and doing little domestic tasks that keep someone comfortable and safe. This role is about presence, patience and consistency rather than complex clinical tasks. Winchelsea is ideal for clients who appreciate a calm, reliable companion and for carers who want a quieter, community-based caseload in East Sussex.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers use rates between £19.20–£21.90 per hour for daytime visits and £148–£164 per day for live‑in arrangements. The platform finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical rates for companionship work are around £19.20–£21.90 per hour.

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’ve worked for an agency and want more control over which people you support, which neighbourhoods you cover and when you work, this is built for you.

PrimeCarers makes it quick to get started — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll keep your independence but won’t have to manage the admin alone: we support contracts, invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on caring.
