Description
If you enjoy spending time with older people, leading gentle outings and supporting hobbies, PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families in Kingston Vale and the surrounding area. Companion care here is about conversation, reassurance and light help around the home — not personal care or nursing. Right now, 215 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical companion duties include having a cuppa and a chat, playing games, supporting hobbies, walking locally, accompanying clients to appointments or community groups, and doing light household tasks so someone can stay independent at home. Many people in Kingston Vale value a steady, familiar face more than frequent agency rotas — particularly those who want company and calm reassurance. You may work with clients across Kingston Vale and nearby areas such as Roehampton, Norbiton, Wimbledon, Motspur Park, Raynes Park and Petersham.
As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own hours, choose which clients to accept and decide your service area. You set your own rates and most carers work within the typical range of £18.80–£20.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds introductions, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on caring and companionship.
