Companion Carer Jobs in Camberwell

If you enjoy conversation, local outings and helping someone keep their independence at home, companion care in Camberwell could be the right move. This role is about company and reassurance: regular chats over tea, walks to the park, shared hobbies and light help with daily life — not personal clinical care. You’ll support people who value companionship and consistency across Camberwell and nearby streets in Lambeth.

Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companion care usually involves spending time with one or two clients for a few hours or longer visits. Typical duties include making drinks and meals, planning or joining outings, playing games or doing crafts, and offering gentle prompts and reassurance around the home. If you’re leaving agency work because you want more control, this role suits carers who are patient, observant and good at keeping a calm, friendly conversation going.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. Many carers charge within a local range of £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the visit length. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on caring and building relationships.

• Who can apply: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• Where you can work: based in Camberwell with opportunities in surrounding areas such as Denmark Hill, Burgess Park, Walworth, Oval, Peckham and Westside and other parts of Lambeth.
• How quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Camberwell rather than a single shift or placement. You remain in control of your diary: accept the clients and hours that fit your life, and update your availability anytime. Many carers move across local neighbourhoods such as Camberwell’s high streets or into quieter residential streets when they want variety in their week.

To apply, create a short profile, upload references and proof of right to work, and tell us about your experience. PrimeCarers will guide you through DBS checks, client introductions and the paperwork so you can get started quickly and with confidence.
