Companion Carer Jobs in South Kensington

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rota pressure, PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families across South Kensington. These are ongoing opportunities for people who enjoy conversation, light help around the home, outings and shared hobbies. You choose who you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover in South Kensington and nearby neighbourhoods. Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care typically includes spending time chatting, supporting hobbies, joining local walks or outings, prompting meals and giving reassurance. It’s ideal for people who are calm, patient and enjoy building predictable, trusting relationships rather than frequent shift churn. Work in South Kensington often involves short regular visits, longer daytime calls for company, or accompanying clients to appointments and local cafés.

Pay and flexibility are at the heart of this role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for companion care are shown as £18.80–£20.10 per hour; you can also see the usual ranges for different arrangements — £18.80–£20.10 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days.
