You’ll spend time chatting, going on local outings, supporting hobbies and helping with light tasks around the home — work built around companionship and reassurance rather than heavy personal care.

Companionship roles are flexible and ideal for carers who enjoy conversation, company and small practical tasks: reading together, accompanying someone to a café or GP, helping with shopping, or supporting hobbies and local trips. Many of the people who want companionship live in Addington and the surrounding communities such as New Addington, Forestdale, West Wickham, Coney Hall, Selsdon and Eden Park. Croydon borough families also use the platform when they need reliable, friendly carers.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you; typical rates for these roles sit around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and travel. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working on a booking, insurance is included.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not list one specific job here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Addington and nearby towns. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

You’ll keep the independence of working for yourself while we handle client matching, paperwork and payments so you can focus on doing what you do best: being present, kind and reliable.

To apply, create a profile, upload a few documents and provide references. Once verified, you can start browsing suitable companionship opportunities that match your hours and travel preferences.
