Description

We’re looking for experienced, compassionate carers in Earlsfield to provide companionship: conversation, day outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll work directly with families as a self‑employed carer, choosing the clients and hours that suit you. Right now, 232 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care on PrimeCarers is about being present, practical and reliable. Typical shifts include regular visits to share tea and chat, accompanying clients to appointments or cafés, helping with small household tasks and supporting hobbies that keep people engaged. Many families in Earlsfield and across Wandsworth want someone who can offer calm company more than personal care — that’s where you come in.

As a self‑employed carer you set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical rates for this type of work are £18.80–£20 per hour; you’ll also see a range of options when booking one‑to‑one care, from short visits to longer companion days. The platform also shows typical hourly and live‑in ranges so you can price your time confidently: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. That means less admin and more time doing the work you’re trained for. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This role suits carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’re particularly interested in people who enjoy ongoing relationships — those small, everyday moments that make a real difference to someone’s confidence and quality of life in Earlsfield.

Work can be local to Earlsfield or cover nearby neighbourhoods — Southfields, Tooting Bec, Tooting, Colliers Wood, South Wimbledon and Balham — and many carers choose to accept bookings across Wandsworth too. You choose the service area you want to cover, the clients you accept and the hours you take on.

Ready to try a different way of working? Create your profile in minutes, upload your references and DBS (or ask us for help arranging one), and start hearing from families who need companionship in Earlsfield and beyond. You remain self‑employed, set your own terms and PrimeCarers supports the rest.
