Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families in Hillingdon who want friendly, reassuring company at home. As a companion carer you'll focus on conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home rather than personal or clinical care. You set your own availability and rates — typical roles sit around £19–£22 per hour. Right now, 122 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships, supporting people to stay connected and helping them feel confident in their own homes. Typical tasks include having a cuppa and a chat, supporting local trips, accompanying clients to activities, prompting and light domestic tasks, and providing calm, dependable company. Many of the people you’d meet in Hillingdon want reassurance, someone to call on for company and help staying engaged with their neighbourhood.

You’ll be fully self-employed on PrimeCarers: you choose clients, hours and the area you cover. Whether you prefer short daytime visits, regular weekly calls or longer live-in arrangements, you can set rates that work for you — many carers list ranges like £19–£22 per hour for visits and £148–£164 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

Hillingdon sits close to Uxbridge, Ickenham, Yiewsley, Hayes, West Drayton and Burroughs — many clients look for carers who know the local area and can join outings or community events.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t post one-off jobs here — PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities and supports you to build a steady list of clients.

Applying takes just minutes. Create a profile, upload basic checks and references and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on people, not paperwork.
