Description
Work as a self-employed companionship carer in Lower Clapton, offering conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You’ll meet clients who value a calm friendly presence — perhaps a regular tea and chat, a walk to the local park, help with a hobby or simply staying nearby for reassurance. PrimeCarers connects you directly with families who want trusted, consistent companionship rather than hands-on clinical care.
Right now, 226 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy building relationships. Many carers from nearby areas choose to work in Lower Clapton and surrounding streets, and you can also find work across Hackney and Hackney Central, West Hackney, Homerton, Upper Clapton, Shacklewell and Dalston. You decide which clients you accept, which hours you work and how far you’ll travel. Set your own rates — typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour — and you can advertise hourly or live-in options using £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day where appropriate.
PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find clients, manage contracts, do the invoicing and handle payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on the caring relationship and the small things that matter — company, conversation, trips out and light domestic tasks — while we look after paperwork and admin.
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 verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Because carers set their own rates and choose their clients, many use PrimeCarers as a way out of agency rota limits while keeping reliable income streams and local, repeat work in Lower Clapton.
If you’re ready to move into companionship-focused care — keeping people company, helping with hobbies, supporting social trips and offering steady reassurance at home — PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started. Create your profile, upload references and your DBS, and tell families what you enjoy doing with clients. You remain self-employed and in control of your time and rates, and we support bookings, contracts and payments for you.
Apply now: it only takes a few minutes to register and most carers from Lower Clapton and Hackney have profiles live within days. Choose the clients and hours that suit your life, and spend your working time doing what you do best — being there for someone who needs company.
