Companion Carer Jobs in Clerkenwell

Work as a companion carer in Clerkenwell, joining families who need reassurance, conversation and company more than clinical support. This role is about company, short outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — making everyday life more comfortable and sociable for older people or adults with long‑term needs. You’ll find opportunities across Clerkenwell and nearby areas including Pentonville, Farringdon, Angel, St Lukes, Holborn and Barbican where families are looking for carers who are present, patient and reliable.

Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers directly with families, so you set your own rate and decide the clients and hours you accept. Most companion care on the platform sits in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, giving you the flexibility to reflect your experience and the value you bring. You’ll typically do visits for conversation, shared activities, short shopping trips, companionship at home, and light domestic tasks such as making drinks, preparing simple meals and keeping a home safe and organised.

This work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships and prefer predictable, local rounds rather than hospital or shift work. If you’re coming from agency life and want control over your diary, Clerkenwell offers a close‑knit community and plenty of short, regular visits across Islington and neighbouring streets.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not paperwork. You remain self‑employed: you choose your clients, hours and your service area.

Applying takes minutes. Your profile is verified and typically goes live within days, after which families can invite you to discuss bookings and trial visits. We do not list one single vacancy here — we advertise ongoing, local companion opportunities so you can pick roles that fit your life and commitments in Clerkenwell.
