As a companion carer you’ll spend time chatting, joining clients on outings, encouraging hobbies and providing light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area.

What companionship work typically involves:

• Emotional support: being a consistent, calm presence for someone who might feel lonely or anxious.
