Companion Carer Jobs in South Croydon

Are you an experienced carer in South Croydon looking to move away from agency shifts and have more control over your work? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companion carers with families who value conversation, shared activities and dependable company. You’ll focus on companionship care — friendly visits, trips out, hobbies, and light support around the home — without being tied to rota patterns or predetermined pay bands. Right now, 212 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work in South Croydon, and in neighbouring areas such as Waddon, Beddington, Purley, Selsdon, Sanderstead and Addiscombe, with clients who mainly want reassurance, a regular face and someone to share time with. Companion roles suit carers who enjoy listening, encouraging independence and planning simple activities like walks, garden time, museum trips or baking sessions. These opportunities also work well if you prefer shorter calls, regular daytime visits or longer, more social visits.

Pay is set by you as a self‑employed carer and tends to sit around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the service. You decide your own hours, which clients to accept and the area you cover. Some carers prefer hourly work (see £18.80–£20 per hour) while others offer occasional live‑in daytime support (see £145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers handles client‑matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We look for people who are reliable, kind and clear about boundaries — people who want to build ongoing relationships with families rather than filling ad‑hoc shifts.

• Flexible hours: Choose regular daytime visits, weekend availability or casual work that fits around other commitments.
