Companion Carer Jobs in Hampton Wick

PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families across Hampton Wick and Richmond upon Thames who want friendly, reliable company rather than complex personal care. Companion work focuses on conversation, local outings, hobbies and light help around the home — reassuring people, keeping them connected and making daily life more enjoyable. Right now, 200 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a companion carer you’ll spend time listening, sharing activities and supporting independence: accompanying clients to shops and appointments, helping with hobbies or paperwork, preparing simple drinks or snacks, and providing reassurance and company. These roles suit experienced carers who enjoy building relationships and who want more control over their time and the people they support in Hampton Wick.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed. You set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area — many carers in the area aim for £18.80–£20.90 per hour depending on the support provided. We handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provide insurance while you work. If you decide to accept a client, you’ll arrange hours directly with them and keep the flexibility to change your availability or rates at any time.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this for you. We do not advertise a single post here — this page lists ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hampton Wick and nearby areas including Teddington, Surbiton, Hampton Hill, Norbiton, Ham and Strawberry Hill.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify you — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can browse compatible family requests in Hampton Wick, set your hourly preferences and start conversations with people who match your approach to companionship.

If you’re used to agency routines but want clearer pricing control, fewer imposed shifts and more rewarding one-to-one time, PrimeCarers is designed for that change. You’ll keep professional autonomy while we minimise the admin: contracts, invoicing and payment processing are taken care of, and insurance is included during bookings.
