Description

We’re looking for experienced, kind carers in Chiswick who enjoy spending time with people — conversation, day trips, hobbies and light help around the home. This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities: you choose the clients, hours and areas you want to work in while PrimeCarers finds the matches and looks after contracts, invoicing and payments. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control, this could be a practical next step.

Right now, 241 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care here is about presence and reassurance. Typical tasks include friendly conversation, accompanying clients to local cafés, parks or appointments, supporting hobbies and reading, light household tasks (making drinks, simple tidying), and being a reliable, cheerful company. Most clients need reassurance and company rather than heavy personal care, so if you enjoy social visits and building trusting relationships you’ll fit well.

Rates are set by carers on our platform and vary by experience and the support required; many carers charge within £18.80–£20.10 per hour. You can expect a range of typical pay bands for different patterns of work: £18.80–£20.10 per hour for hourly care, and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. You remain self‑employed, choose your clients and decide your availability.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, provide written contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work with a client through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll 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. We welcome carers based in Chiswick and nearby areas such as Gunnersbury, Bedford Park, Kew, Mortlake, Acton and Barnes — and carers who travel from across Hounslow borough to support local families.

This is not a single job listing but a route to ongoing self‑employed work in and around Chiswick. If you want less shift‑driving, more choice over where and when you work, and to build meaningful short visits or regular companionship rounds, creating a profile on PrimeCarers is quick and straightforward. Apply in minutes and start seeing suitable client introductions within days.
