Description
We're looking for experienced companion carers in Hoxton who enjoy conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. This role is about building steady, reassuring relationships: spending time over a cuppa, supporting a regular walk, joining someone for a class or helping with small household tasks that make daily life easier. Many families in Hoxton and across Islington prefer carers who can bring calm company and dependable companionship. Right now, 222 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer. You set your own rates, choose clients, pick the hours that suit you and define the area you cover. For companionship roles the typical range is £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the arrangement. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client — so you can focus on the relationship, not the paperwork.
This kind of work suits people who prefer relationship-based care to frequent task-driven shifts. If you enjoy gentle conversation, supporting hobbies, accompanying someone to local groups or events, and offering reassurance around the home, you’ll fit well with the families we introduce in Hoxton. You’ll often travel nearby to places like Eastside, St Lukes, De Beauvoir Town, Haggerston, Shoreditch and Custom House when clients need outings or local companionship.
To join we ask for 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. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. We do not promise specific shifts or income, but we do make it straightforward to meet families looking for steady companionship care in Hoxton and surrounding areas.
If you’re used to agency routines but want more control — choosing who you work with, when and where — PrimeCarers can be a simpler, fairer way to build your own client list. Register, complete the short verification, and start reviewing local client requests. Many carers find the steady, relationship-focused work particularly rewarding and more flexible than traditional agency patterns.
