Description

Are you an experienced carer who enjoys company work — conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companionship carers with families across Shepherds Bush and the wider Hammersmith and Fulham area. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and many carers earn around £19–£21.50 per hour depending on their rates and availability.

Right now, 167 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care with PrimeCarers is about being the friendly, steady presence that makes everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Typical tasks include calling round for a cuppa and a chat, going out for a short walk or a trip to a café, supporting hobbies and interests, helping with light household tasks like tidying or making snacks, and offering reassurance to clients living at home. Carers in Shepherds Bush often support people who want regular social contact rather than intensive personal care.

This kind of work suits someone who values conversation and companionship over clinical tasks, who is reliable, patient and enjoys getting to know people. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over the clients you accept and the hours you work, PrimeCarers can help you make the change without losing essential support.

PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work. You remain self‑employed: you set your own rates, pick your shifts and decide the neighbourhoods you cover — from White City and Notting Hill to Old Oak Common and beyond. Many carers cover nearby areas such as White City, Wormwood Scrubs, Old Oak Common, Bedford Park, Notting Hill and North Kensington.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. We don’t post a single job here — we advertise ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Shepherds Bush so you can choose what fits your life.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once on the platform you’ll receive enquiries from families, review the details and accept only the clients who suit you. If you want companionship‑focused shifts and the freedom to work your way around life in Shepherds Bush, PrimeCarers could be the next step.
