Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers with families across North Harrow. The work is centred on conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — ideal for people whose main need is company and reassurance. You choose who you work with, the hours and the area you cover, while PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance while you work. Right now, 136 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship visits might include a regular chat over tea, walking to a nearby shop, attending a community group, helping with a hobby or simply offering calm presence for reassurance. In North Harrow you’ll meet a mix of older neighbours and younger adults who value continuity and someone they can rely on for friendly, consistent support.
This role suits experienced carers who prefer less clinical care and more relationship-led work. If you’ve done at least one year of professional care and enjoy spending time supporting people to stay active and connected, companionship work can be steady, rewarding and flexible. Typical rates: £19–£21.50 per hour depending on the client and the hours agreed.
PrimeCarers is designed for people who want to be self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients and control your availability. You can accept short visits or longer calls, cover North Harrow alone or include nearby areas such as Rayners Lane, West Harrow, Pinner, Eastcote, South Harrow and Harrow on the Hill. Many carers who left agency rotas find better work-life balance here while keeping strong ties to the Harrow community.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references
Applying takes minutes. Complete your profile, upload ID and references, and allow verification checks — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers will introduce you to families and handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed and free to accept only the requests that fit your schedule and values.
