Description
Work as a companionship carer in Archway, supporting people who primarily want company, conversation and reassurance. You’ll spend time chatting, joining local outings, encouraging hobbies and doing light help around the home — tea, paperwork, prompts, a walk to the park or a trip to a café. These roles suit carers who enjoy spending unhurried time with someone and building ongoing, trusting relationships in the community.
Right now, 168 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.This is an ongoing stream of self-employed opportunities across Archway and the surrounding parts of Haringey. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose clients, hours and the area they cover — typically £19–£21.50 per hour. We match you with local families, including work near Upper Holloway, Tufnell Park, Highgate, Holloway, Gospel Oak and Finsbury Park, so you can accept work that fits your schedule and travel preferences.
PrimeCarers takes care of the admin: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means less time on paperwork and more time doing the care you enjoy. You remain self-employed and fully in control of the work you take on.
Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who like conversational, companionship-focused visits rather than high-dependency personal care. You’ll need the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t have one yet. We’re looking for friendly, reliable people who can bring warmth, patience and curiosity to each visit.
Because roles are self-employed, you choose how much you work. Some carers pick a few regular daytime calls each week; others prefer longer weekend visits or afternoon companionship. Nothing here is a single advertised post — we advertise ongoing opportunities across Archway so you can build a steady mix of clients if you want to.
Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload ID and references, and complete any verification steps. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you’ll start to see suitable matches soon after. If you’re ready to keep the care personal, local and flexible while cutting out agency paperwork, Archway families are looking for companions like you.
