The ethos of Just Company is to recruit only companions who are of a standard which reflects the experience and understanding they bring to the company. Reflecting the quality of our companions is evident in how much we pay them. We will not just pay the minimum wage, or even living wage, we pay our companions a wage appropriate to their quality, their work experience and standard of practice expected. Just Company is not just about visiting someone and maybe doing jobs about the home and garden, it’s about building meaningful relationships. It’s about breaking the isolation and loneliness often experienced by older people as they become less able to get out and about. It’s about keeping mentally and/or physically active and enjoying life.
We pride ourselves on designing a package of companionship which meets your needs. We do recommend two hours as a minimum, but we are very flexible and our aim is to meet your need, not ours. A package could range from two hours a week to several full days a month.
We always remain in contact with family members so they are fully aware of what has been planned and will keep families informed of outings and places visited, obviously with the consent of the client.
There is no fee, the cost is based on £25 per hour plus any expenses incurred.

How does it work?
Just Company can make just about anything possible happen.
How does it work
You call us and we will ask a host of questions. These questions will be about you or the person you would like to have a companion. The questions will be biographical, allowing us to build a really clear picture. We will also ask you what you would like to know about us and what we do in detail. Following this we will arrange a date to meet. During this meeting we will discuss likes, dislikes, aspirations, no goes and yes goes. Mobility and other considerations. We like to meet so we can get to know. We think its very important we know everyone by name and what they like to do or where they like to go. During the initial meeting we will share examples of other clients outings and opportunities.
So we have met and now its down to getting a lovely programme of outings sorted. We do this between our companions and clients and the significant others around them.
We always make sure that everyone knows and agrees our outings.
