Companionship Carer Jobs in Old Malden

Do you enjoy conversation, company and gentle practical help? In Old Malden we connect experienced, self‑employed carers with local families who primarily want companionship: regular chats, outings to the shops or café, support with hobbies and reassurance around the home. This listing is for ongoing self‑employed opportunities in Old Malden and the surrounding area. Right now, 217 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care often involves spending time listening, encouraging activities, accompanying people to appointments or community events, and doing light household tasks so a client can remain independent. Work can be morning calls, longer afternoon visits or a regular weekly slot — you choose what fits your life. Many carers who move from agency work value the calmer pace and stronger relationships they build in Old Malden and across Kingston upon Thames.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically work within £18.80–£20.30 per hour. You choose clients, hours and your service area, while PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working.

This role suits someone with at least one year of professional care experience who prefers conversational, social and practical support over clinical tasks. To join you need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t list one-off shifts here — this is an ongoing route to find regular local clients that match your skills.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload ID and references, and our team verifies everything. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. We cover Old Malden and nearby neighbourhoods such as Worcester Park, New Malden, Lower Morden, Tolworth, Morden Park and Motspur Park, so you can work close to home.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency routines for a self‑employed approach, PrimeCarers is built to reduce admin and let you focus on people. You keep control over when and who you work for, while we take care of client referrals, contracts and secure payments. If this sounds like the next step in your care work in Old Malden, it’s quick to apply and simple to get started.
