Description

Companionship care in Mayfair is all about being present: good conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mostly want company and reassurance. If you enjoy spending time with someone, supporting their confidence and keeping days bright, this kind of work could suit you in Mayfair and the surrounding area. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, set your availability and choose the people you support.

Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers links experienced carers with families across Mayfair and nearby neighbourhoods like Greenhill, Soho, Marylebone, St. Marylebone, St Jamess and Chinatown and in parts of Westminster. The typical rate for companionship roles is £18.80–£20 per hour. Many carers who move from agency work choose companionship roles because they want more variety, better control over their day and closer relationships with the people they support.

What you’ll do: conversation, companionship visits, help with light chores, support on outings and encouragement for hobbies and social contact. Shifts are flexible — short visits, regular weekly calls or afternoon visits are all common. Carers set their own hours and service area, and can accept or decline any client they’re offered.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who enjoy social contact more than clinical tasks; patient listeners, confident with public outings and happy to help keep a home comfortable. If you’ve done at least one year of professional care and want to leave agency routines behind while still having steady introductions to clients, this role is a good match. We require an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

How PrimeCarers supports you: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed, set your own hours and choose your clients. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, confirm your experience and references, and choose your hourly rate. You’ll be ready to review local companionship opportunities across Mayfair in no time. If you’re used to agency work but want more control, this is a straightforward way to keep doing care that matters, on your terms.
