£20.00 – £24.00+ per hour.
Paid every Friday.A core Hestia principle: the companion doing the work should keep the lion's share of the pay. Families pay transparent tiered rates—typically from £25/hr (Community Companion) or £30/hr (Specialist Companion)—and companions retain a market-leading 80% (£20/hr and £24/hr take-home respectively), deposited directly into your bank account every Friday via Stripe Connect.

Paid every Friday — never wait a month.
