Companionship Carer Jobs in Brockley

Work as a companionship carer in Brockley, offering conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light support around the home for people who mainly want company and reassurance. You’ll spend time listening, joining activities, accompanying clients to shops or appointments, and helping with everyday tasks like making drinks, preparing simple meals or tidying up. Right now, 216 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You decide who you work for, which hours suit you and how far you’ll travel across Brockley and nearby neighbourhoods such as New Cross Gate, Nunhead, Crofton Park, Ladywell, New Cross and Peckham Rye. Many carers set rates within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the service required.

PrimeCarers introduces you to families and handles the practical administration: we draw up contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a client. That means you can focus on the companionship work you enjoy without getting bogged down in paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. Applying takes minutes and, once your documents are verified, profiles typically go live within days.

This type of role is ideal if you’re reliable, enjoy putting people at ease, and are good at getting conversations going, encouraging activities and spotting when a client needs reassurance. You don’t need to provide personal care to apply — companionship shifts range from short daytime visits to longer calls for weekend activities, and some carers also take overnight or live-in days if they choose.

We won’t promise specific earnings, but carers set their own rates and choose who they work for. If you’re used to agency life and want to move to a more independent approach while keeping the security of a platform that handles bookings and payments, PrimeCarers could be a good fit. Brockley-based carers often also cover parts of Lewisham and surrounding areas, creating a steady flow of introductions for those willing to travel a little.
