Companionship Carer Jobs in Hanwell

Are you an experienced carer in Hanwell who enjoys conversation, company and small practical helps around the home? Our companionship roles focus on spending quality time with people — having a chat, joining outings, supporting hobbies and offering reassurance. You’ll be supporting people who mainly need company and gentle practical help, not clinical care. Right now, 159 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area around Hanwell and nearby communities such as West Ealing, Norwood Green, Southall, Osterley, Greenford and Perivale. You set your own rate within the typical range (see £19–£21.50 per hour) and decide which bookings suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

This type of work suits experienced, patient people who enjoy building friendships and improving someone’s day-to-day life. Typical tasks include accompanying a person to local shops or clubs, helping with light household tasks like making tea or putting out laundry, prompting and reassuring, supporting hobbies and simple companionship during a walk or an outing in Hanwell or nearby parks. You won’t be expected to provide complex clinical tasks unless you have the right qualifications and agree them with a client.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers move from agency work because they want more control over hours and clients; if that sounds like you, this is designed for experienced carers who want flexibility and straightforward admin support.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. You remain self-employed: you invoice through the platform and set your availability. The platform supports invoicing and payments so you can focus on care, and insurance is included while you work. If you work across Ealing or visit people in West Ealing, Southall or Perivale, you can accept only the jobs that fit your travel and timetable.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload or request an Enhanced DBS and supply two references. Once verified you can start reviewing local companionship requests and choosing those that match your preferences. If you want a role that centres on company, conversation and gentle day-to-day support in Hanwell, this is a practical way to be independent while having platform support.
