Companionship Carer Jobs in Raynes Park

Work as a self-employed companionship carer across Raynes Park, helping people who mainly need company, reassurance and light help around the home. You’ll spend time talking, joining in hobbies, taking clients on local outings and offering gentle household support so they can stay comfortable and connected in their own home. Right now, 209 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for carers who want ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off placements. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers working around Raynes Park and nearby enjoy weekday visits for conversation, weekend hobby support or regular outing companions to local parks and shops.

Typical companionship work includes: friendly visits and conversation, supporting hobbies (gardening, crafts, reading), accompanying clients for short walks and local trips, light household tasks such as making drinks, meal companionship and simple reassurance when a client is anxious. You won’t be asked to perform complex clinical tasks unless you’re qualified and choose to advertise those skills.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer you set your rate within the local range of £18.80–£20.10 per hour. You can advertise the hourly rate you want, choose how many hours you take and whether you’ll offer travel or occasional live-in support. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for ID and references during verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re based in or near Raynes Park you’ll be visible to families across the area and in neighbouring communities such as Motspur Park, Wimbledon, Morden Park, Merton Park, Lower Morden and New Malden. Many carers who have left agency routines value the control they get here — picking the shifts they want, building ongoing relationships and keeping the personal side of care at the heart of the work.

How to apply: create a profile, add your experience and availability, upload or book an Enhanced DBS if needed and provide references. Once verified, families can find you, and PrimeCarers will support contracts, invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on people, not paperwork.
