Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed companion carers with families in Wymondham and the surrounding areas. This role is about conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people whose main need is company and reassurance. You will choose the clients you visit, the hours you work and the area you cover.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship visits vary: a chat and a cup of tea, a short walk, a trip to a local cafe or joining in a favourite hobby. The work suits carers who enjoy building relaxed, reliable relationships rather than clinical care tasks. You’ll often be supporting people who live at home in Wymondham, helping them stay part of their community in Norfolk and nearby towns such as Attleborough, Hingham, Norwich, Dereham, Thorpe St Andrew and Watton.
Pay is flexible because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical earnings for this role are £19–£23.50 per hour depending on the hours and services you choose to offer. You also decide whether to take regular rounds or one-off calls and can adjust your diary week to week.
PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and process payments, and provide insurance while you are working through the platform. That means you can focus on care and relationships rather than paperwork. To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise or assign specific shifts — you pick the clients and times that suit you in Wymondham and the wider Norfolk area.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be matched quickly once your checks are complete. When you’re ready to start, you create a profile, confirm your availability and preferences and begin choosing clients who match your skills and interests.
If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency routines, PrimeCarers offers a way to stay independent while getting steady introductions to local families. Join other companion carers supporting people across Wymondham and neighbouring towns, set your own terms and keep the rewarding part of care at the centre of your work.
