Description
Work as a companion carer in Hornsey and help local people feel less isolated, enjoy outings and keep doing the things they love.

You’ll visit clients across Hornsey and nearby areas including Turnpike Lane, Harringay, Crouch End, Wood Green, Bowes Park and Muswell Hill and throughout the borough of Haringey, choosing the visits that suit you and the people you support.
Companionship shifts vary: you might spend an hour over a cup of tea and a walk, join someone for a local event, or spend longer supporting hobbies and household companionship. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and decide which clients, hours and service area you work in. Typical companion care pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, but you set what you charge based on your experience and the support you offer.
