Description

Are you an experienced carer in Hadley Wood who enjoys conversation, outings and gentle support at home? Companionship care with PrimeCarers focuses on spending time with clients who mainly need company and reassurance — chatting over tea, sharing hobbies, accompanying short walks or trips, and light help around the house. You’ll work directly with families and keep control over your working life in Hadley Wood and nearby areas.

Right now, 198 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits carers who prefer relationship-led care rather than intensive personal care. Many of our companionship carers in Hadley Wood support older people who appreciate regular visits, steady company and practical reminders. You might spend time on conversation, helping with letters and shopping, supporting hobbies, or joining clients on local outings — all with an emphasis on companionship and reassurance.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families and looks after the admin: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. Carers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area — many charge within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and duties. You remain self-employed and in control of how you work across Hadley Wood and parts of Hertfordshire including High Barnet, Monken Hadley, New Barnet, Cockfosters, Potters Bar and Chipping Barnet.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll also need basic ID and proof of experience for verification. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable matches quickly.

Why carers move from agency work to PrimeCarers: more flexibility over hours, closer relationships with families, and the freedom to set your own terms while PrimeCarers handles contracts and payments. If you value predictable admin support but want to choose the people you care for, this is a practical next step.

We’re looking for reliable, compassionate people who enjoy companionship-focused visits across Hadley Wood. If you’re ready to take more control of your working life while continuing meaningful care, create a profile and start connecting with local families within days.
