Description

Companionship care in Bedford Park is about being present: conversation over tea, joining someone on a short outing, sharing a hobby or offering gentle reassurance around the home. These roles suit people who enjoy company, are patient and can turn small moments into meaningful ones. Right now, 225 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits focus on conversation, short walks, trips to local shops or cafés, support with hobbies and light household help — the sort of practical, friendly care that helps people stay connected to their neighbourhood. You might spend an hour chatting and reading with someone, take a client to a community group, or help with a few household tasks while keeping them company. Most work is daytime and part-time, centred on companionship rather than clinical support.

This is an ongoing opportunity to work as a self-employed companion carer across Bedford Park and nearby areas such as Acton, Shepherds Bush, Chiswick, Gunnersbury, Wormwood Scrubs and White City. You set the hours you want, pick the clients who suit you and decide your service area. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically work within £18.80–£20.10 per hour, with flexibility between hourly and live-in arrangements when needed. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this path lets you keep your care skills at the centre while reclaiming scheduling and pay decisions. You remain self-employed: that means choosing your clients and shifts, invoicing through the platform, and keeping the autonomy to build a working pattern that fits your life in Ealing and Bedford Park.

What we need from you

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

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, contractual paperwork and secure payments, so you can focus on the companionship work you enjoy. Rates vary by client and hours; many carers quote within £18.80–£20.10 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for live-in days.

If you’re ready to spend your time meaningfully — offering company, reassurance and practical help to people in Bedford Park and the wider Ealing area — create your profile and start choosing the work that fits you. Profiles typically go live within days, and you remain in control at every step.
