Companion Carer Jobs in Petts Wood

Are you an experienced carer in Petts Wood who enjoys spending quality time with older people? Companion care through PrimeCarers is about conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light domestic help for clients who mainly want company and reassurance. You’ll be working with people in Petts Wood and the surrounding Bromley area, building relationships rather than performing clinical tasks. Right now, 182 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

We connect self-employed carers with families looking for warm, reliable companionship. On PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you want morning visits, weekend companionship or occasional afternoon trips to the park. Many carers set their rates within £18.80–£20 per hour and manage their own diaries, accepting only the bookings that suit them.

This kind of role suits someone who loves conversation, enjoys helping with hobbies and outings, and can offer gentle reassurance at home. Typical companion duties include chatting over tea, accompanying a client on local walks, joining them for a hobby or community group, light tidying, making snacks and providing dependable company. You won’t be asked to perform complex clinical care unless you hold the relevant additional qualifications and agree separate arrangements with a family.

PrimeCarers handles the administrative side: we find you clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That means you can focus on delivering great companionship and building trusted relationships in Petts Wood, Orpington and beyond. Families on the platform often look for carers within easy reach of Orpington, St Pauls Cray, St Mary Cray, Bickley, Chislehurst and Derry Downs.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. We’ll walk you through verification quickly — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who want more independence than traditional agency work offers, giving you control over your time and the clients you accept in Petts Wood and greater Bromley.

If you’re ready to prioritise meaningful companionship, build steady local work and stay self-employed, creating a profile is the next step. It’s quick to apply and soon you could be meeting families who need thoughtful company and calm reassurance close to home.
