Description
Companionship care in Bromley Common means spending time with people who want friendly company, reassurance and a hand with day-to-day life. You’ll focus on conversation, walks, trips to local shops or cafés, shared hobbies and light help around the home that keeps someone confident and connected. Right now, 182 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical companion duties include chatting, keeping company over tea, accompanying clients on short outings, supporting hobbies and helping with simple household tasks such as making a meal, light tidying or reminders. These roles are ideal if you enjoy building long-term relationships, want to support wellbeing through everyday moments, and prefer non-clinical, social support.
This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts offer. Many carers who join from agencies are based in and around Bromley Common and nearby areas such as Bickley, Widmore, Widmore Green, Locksbottom, Keston and Petts Wood and across Bromley. You decide which clients you’ll accept, what hours you’ll work and how far you’ll travel.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and keep the control — typical rates for companion care are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working with a client. That means less admin for you and more time doing the work you enjoy.
To join you need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references from recent care roles
Applying takes minutes. You complete a short profile and upload documents; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can browse and choose clients that fit your availability and interests. There’s no set rota — you build the working pattern that suits you.
