Companionship Carer Jobs in Lambeth

Companionship care in Lambeth is about being the friendly, steady presence that makes a real difference to someone's day. You’ll spend time talking, joining outings, helping with hobbies and offering light practical support around the home — for people who mainly want company and reassurance. You choose who you work with, when and where.

Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Many carers come to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want more control over their week and closer, longer-term relationships with clients in Lambeth and the surrounding area. You’ll be offering social visits, walks, help with letters or shopping, shared hobbies and simple companionship tasks rather than complex clinical care. This role suits someone patient, engaged and comfortable leading conversation or quietly keeping company.

Pay and working patterns are set by you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, choosing the hours and service area that suit them. Typical pay for this kind of role is £18.80–£20 per hour and many profiles list hourly or day rates within £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day depending on the arrangement and client needs.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You keep the autonomy of self-employment but avoid much of the paperwork that can slow you down.

What we need from you

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, including companionship or social support roles.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Comfortable travel around Lambeth and nearby areas such as Brixton, Westside, Clapham, Stockwell, Woodlands and Herne Hill.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your ID and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain self-employed, choose your clients and can balance work with family or other commitments across Lambeth and Greater London.

If you’re used to agency shifts but want clearer control over your working life and closer relationships with the people you support, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. You can pick short social visits, regular weekly calls, or longer daytime companionships. We introduce you to families who’re looking for warmth and reliability rather than clinical care.
