Companionship Carer Jobs in Dalston

Looking for ongoing self-employed companionship work in Dalston? PrimeCarers connects experienced private carers directly with local families who need company, reassurance and light help around the home. You’ll spend time chatting, joining outings, supporting hobbies and offering gentle practical support — the kind of companionship that makes a real difference to someone’s day.

These roles suit carers who enjoy conversation, short outings to the local park or café, helping with small household tasks and encouraging interests like gardening, reading or crafts. Work is based across Dalston and nearby areas including Shacklewell, Haggerston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, West Hackney and Hoxton and other parts of Islington, and the focus is companionship rather than intensive personal care.

As a self-employed carer with PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit you. Typical pay for this role is around £18.80–£20 per hour and you control your availability. PrimeCarers finds local clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can concentrate on the care and the company you give.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We’re not advertising one specific post — this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities in Dalston and across Islington for carers ready to work independently but with practical backing.

If you’re leaving agency work because you want more control over when and where you work, PrimeCarers is designed for that. You stay self-employed, set your rates, and we take care of the administrative side so you can build ongoing relationships with local families.
