Companionship Carer Jobs in Carshalton

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Carshalton who need companionship, conversation and light help around the home. This role is about being present: chatting over a cuppa, supporting hobbies, joining outings and offering reassurance to people who value company and dignity. Right now, 207 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit them. Typical pay for companionship roles is £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required. You’ll be able to accept short regular visits, longer social calls or daytime companionship shifts that fit your week across Carshalton and nearby areas such as Wallington, Beddington, Waddon, Cheam, Morden and Mitcham — many carers find the flexibility a better fit than agency rotas. We also see interest from families across Sutton who want reliable, local support.

This role will suit someone with at least a year’s paid care experience who enjoys building relaxed, respectful relationships. Companionship work often involves:

• Friendly conversation and emotional support
• Accompanying clients to appointments, shops or community activities
• Encouraging hobbies, light meal prep and simple household tasks
• Offering reassurance and a regular, trusted presence

To join you’ll need: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed: you set your rates and choose who you work with. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you’re working through the platform.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can browse local enquiries, discuss availability directly with families and accept the assignments that suit your lifestyle. If you’re ready to move away from agency shifts and take more control over your work in Carshalton, this could be the next step.
