Description

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced companion carers in Greenford who enjoy conversation, day trips, shared hobbies and light help around the home. These roles are about company, reassurance and helping people keep living well in familiar surroundings — sitting and chatting over tea, accompanying someone to appointments or the shops, or supporting hobbies at home.

Right now, 213 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical companion duties include:

  • Friendly conversation and companionship, reading or playing games together
  • Accompanying clients on short outings, appointments or local events
  • Supporting hobbies, crafts or simple activities to keep people engaged
  • Light practical help around the house — making a drink, reminders and reassurance

These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit caring people who want flexibility and more control than agency shifts allow. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates (typical range £18.80–£20.39 per hour), choose their clients, hours and service area — many work locally across Greenford and neighbouring areas such as Brompton, Perivale, Northolt, Hanwell, West Ealing and Yeading. You decide whether to take a few morning visits, regular weekly calls or longer companion outings.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this). PrimeCarers requires those checks before a profile goes live.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on caring and building relationships in Greenford and the wider Ealing area without paperwork slowing you down. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re an experienced companion carer ready to take more control over your work in Greenford, create a profile and start choosing work that fits your life. These are ongoing opportunities for self‑employed carers, not one single job listing — you’ll pick the clients and hours that suit you.
