Companionship Carer Jobs in Bexley

Companionship care in Bexley means being the friendly, reliable presence people rely on for conversation, local trips, hobbies and light help around the home. These roles suit experienced carers who want to move away from rota-driven agency work and run their own time while still helping people stay active and connected across Bexley and the surrounding towns such as Bexley Village, North Cray, Bexleyheath, Bexley New Town, Blendon and Old Bexley. Right now, 174 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose who you work with, which hours you take and the area you cover across Bexley and Greater London. Many carers focus on day visits, companionship calls, shopping trips, attending clubs and supporting hobbies — all the things that make a real difference without clinical duties. Typical pay is set by you; many new profiles list rates in the range £18.80–£20 per hour. Typical hourly and live‑in guidance is £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

PrimeCarers finds local families for you and takes care of the admin — client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and includes insurance while you work on bookings we introduce. That means you keep the independence of self‑employment but without having to manage every paperwork detail on your own. You'll still be self‑employed and free to accept or decline bookings as you wish.

To join we ask for straightforward checks so families can feel confident: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many experienced carers coming from agency roles find this combination of autonomy and practical support appealing.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live you can browse local opportunities in Bexley Village, North Cray, Bexleyheath, Bexley New Town, Blendon and Old Bexley and begin choosing the clients that fit your availability and interests.

If you’re an experienced companionship carer ready to set your own rates, shape your working week and keep doing the work you love in and around Bexley, creating a profile is a quick next step. We’ll help with the checks and introductions so you can focus on the people you care for.
