Description

We’re looking for friendly, experienced carers in Alperton to provide companionship care: meaningful conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home. Many people we support want reassurance, someone to chat with and company for appointments or short trips—this role is about presence, patience and practical kindness in Alperton and the surrounding area.

Right now, 160 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What companionship care looks like here: spending time over tea and conversation, joining a walk to the shops or park, helping with hobbies (reading, gardening, crafts), accompanying to appointments and offering light household support like preparing simple meals or tidying. These visits are usually shorter and centred on companionship rather than personal or clinical care.

This is a self-employed opportunity. You set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area that suit you. Typical pay is £19–£21.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working, so you can focus on the work you enjoy.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency life—selecting clients, shaping visits and building longer-term, trusting relationships. If you live in Alperton or nearby areas such as Wembley, Tokyngton, Perivale, Wembley Park, Park Royal and Brent Park, and you value conversation-led care, this could be a good fit.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience;
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t have one);
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and you’ll create a profile where you list experience, availability and the kinds of companionship visits you prefer. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers also supports you through arranging DBS checks and checking references so you can get matched with guests in Brent and across Alperton quickly and confidently.

How to apply: complete the short online sign-up, upload ID and references, and set your rate and availability. Once verified you can start seeing client requests and choosing the matches that suit you. There’s no fixed rota — you pick the shifts and clients that work for you.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and build rewarding companionship work in Alperton, join PrimeCarers and bring reassuring company to local people who value conversation, outings and a friendly face.
