Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed companion carers with families across Brentford and the wider Hounslow area. You’ll support people who mainly want company — conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and a little light help around the home to give them confidence and reassurance. Right now, 213 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care suits carers who enjoy building relationships rather than completing clinical tasks. Typical visits include chatting over a cuppa, accompanying someone to the shops or a park, encouraging hobbies, helping with light household tasks and offering reassurance at home. In Brentford you’ll meet clients living in town centres, riverside areas and quieter streets; we also connect carers near Kew, Gunnersbury, Isleworth, Osterley, Richmond and West Ealing.

As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, decide your hours and pick your service area. Many carers advertise in Brentford and nearby towns, choosing flexible daytime or regular companionship rounds. Pay is set by you and typically falls within £18.80–£20.30 per hour; some carers list hourly ranges such as £18.80–£20.30 per hour or live‑in day rates like £145–£160 per day depending on the arrangement.

We handle the admin so you can focus on care. PrimeCarers finds client matches and manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. If you’re tired of agency shifts and box‑ticking, this gives you more control without leaving the practical support network that keeps your work secure in Brentford and across Hounslow.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. You remain fully self‑employed and can say no to any client or shift that doesn’t suit you.

If you’d like companionship care roles that fit your life in Brentford — regular daytime calls, afternoon visits or weekend companionship — PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started. Create your profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll help you connect with local families who value reliable, friendly carers.
