We're connecting experienced, self-employed carers with families in New Barnet and the wider Enfield area who mainly need company, conversation and reassurance.

Typical companionship duties include:

• Regular conversation and companionship to reduce loneliness
• Accompanying clients to local shops, appointments or short outings
• Supporting hobbies, gentle activities and befriending
• Light household tasks that help clients stay comfortable and independent

This work suits carers who value meaningful, flexible hours and prefer to work directly with families in and around New Barnet. You set your own rates — many carers use the platform to offer services in the range £18.80–£20 per hour — and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. We also display typical ranges like £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates so clients have clear expectations.

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to switch from agency-style work: we find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed and in control of which families you accept. You’ll find clients across New Barnet and nearby towns such as High Barnet, Chipping Barnet, Cockfosters, Monken Hadley, Hadley Wood and Whetstone.

To join, you 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. Being local to New Barnet or nearby parts of Enfield helps when families are looking for regular companionship visits.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. If you want more supportive, flexible companionship work with families who value continuity, this is a practical way to build your own client list while PrimeCarers looks after the admin.
