Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families in Millbank and the surrounding areas. Companion care here is about conversation, short outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — reassurance and company more than personal care. You’ll meet local people who value your time, kindness and reliability. Right now, 231 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work suits experienced carers who prefer relationship-led support over task-driven shifts. Typical duties include regular visits for tea and a chat, accompanying someone to a local café or park, helping with light household tasks, and supporting hobbies and appointments. Many families in Millbank and nearby Pimlico, Kennington, Nine Elms, Oval, London and St Jamess are looking for carers who can be consistent company rather than full clinical support.

PrimeCarers is built for people who want control. Carers on the platform are self-employed and set their own rates; typical companion roles show rates in the region of £18.80–£20 per hour. You choose your clients, your hours and your service area. PrimeCarers finds you families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role.

Pay can vary depending on frequency and length of visits. Typical hourly-care ranges are £18.80–£20 per hour, and if you take on live-in companionship the day ranges are around £145–£160 per day. Remember, you set the rate that reflects your experience and the support you give.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can support you to arrange one if you don’t already have it. We carry out straightforward verification so profiles typically go live within days of being checked.

If you’re used to agency life but want more choice and predictable admin, PrimeCarers makes the switch simple. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload references and checks, and start seeing compatible families in Millbank, Westminster and beyond. You remain in control: accept only the clients and hours that suit you.

Interested? Set up a profile, highlight your companionship experience, and let families find you for regular visits and outings. Many carers find the work in Millbank professionally rewarding and personally flexible — especially if you value genuine company over task lists.
