Companionship Carer Jobs in Battersea

Companionship care in Battersea is about being present, offering conversation, gentle reassurance and practical help so a client can enjoy daily life with confidence. Typical duties include chatting over tea, accompanying someone to Battersea Park or a local café, joining a hobby or gentle outing, and light household help such as making drinks, meal companionship and keeping company in the home. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

You’ll work across Battersea and the wider Wandsworth area, meeting people who value company and reassurance more than clinical support. You may accompany clients on short walks, help with reading or puzzles, take part in crafts or local activities and be a calm, friendly presence in their day. You’ll often visit familiar streets and community hubs in and around the neighbourhood, including Sands End, Castelnau, Battersea Park, Chelsea, Clapham Common and Nine Elms.

This role suits someone with at least a year’s professional care experience who enjoys relationship-based work — carers who are used to agency life but want more control over who they support and when. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour, and you decide what to charge within that range.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, so you can focus on caring. While you’re working on bookings arranged through the platform, insurance is included. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You choose the bookings that suit you and keep the flexibility to work around other commitments.

To join, you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent care work

We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Battersea rather than a single role. If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and want meaningful, companionship-focused work in Battersea and nearby areas, it really takes only minutes to apply. Create a profile, complete verification and start choosing clients — profiles are usually live within days.
