Description
Provide warm, steady companionship to older people in Lower Morden and the surrounding parts of Merton.

You’ll spend time listening, supporting independence and helping someone feel less lonely.
Right now, 207 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who prefer the freedom of self-employment. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit their life. Many companionship shifts are flexible and local, and typical pay sits around £18.80–£20.30 per hour, though you set the rate that works for you. You can accept short daytime visits, regular weekly calls or longer outings across Lower Morden and nearby neighbourhoods including Morden Park, Worcester Park, Morden, Raynes Park, Old Malden and Motspur Park.
PrimeCarers finds clients who need companionship care and takes care of the paperwork: we handle contracts, invoicing and payments for the self-employed carer, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on building relationships and planning meaningful time with clients, not chasing invoices or 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 documentation quickly so your profile can go live within days of checks being completed. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and start choosing clients in Lower Morden and across Merton.
If you’re thinking of moving away from agency work, PrimeCarers gives you the control to pick the people you support and the hours you work, while keeping the administrative and legal side simple. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and many carers begin matching with local families soon after.
