Description
Looking for companionship carer work in Soho that puts you in control? These ongoing self-employed opportunities are for people who love conversation, gentle outings and helping clients feel safe and supported at home. You’ll focus on companionship, hobbies, trips to local cafés or parks, and light help around the house for people who mainly need company and reassurance.
Right now, 229 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care in Soho often involves regular chats over tea, accompanying someone to a local group, helping with a hobby project or being a reassuring presence through the day. You won’t be asked to perform clinical tasks; the role is about building trust, offering stimulation and supporting independence. Work is available across Soho and nearby areas including Chinatown, St Giles, St Jamess, Lee, Greenhill and Mayfair, and in parts of Westminster where families are looking for friendly, reliable carers.
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you best. Typical pay for companionship roles is around £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly shifts, with other options listed as £18.80–£20 per hour and live‑in day ranges shown as £145–£160 per day on profiles. You remain in control of your diary and the type of help you provide, whether you want short daytime visits or longer companionship calls.
To join you’ll need 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. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. That means less admin for you and more time doing the job you enjoy in Soho and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
If you’re thinking about leaving agency work, PrimeCarers is set up for experienced carers who want clearer control and fairer earning potential. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. These listings represent ongoing opportunities across Soho and Westminster rather than a single role — you’ll be invited to look through matches and choose what fits your life.
Ready to start? Put together a short profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll help with checks and verification. Many carers appreciate the variety of companionship work in Soho: it’s social, flexible and deeply rewarding.
