Description
Looking for companionship care work in St Jamess and the wider Westminster area that fits your life, not the other way round? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need conversation, outings, shared hobbies and a reassuring presence around the home. You’ll support people who mainly want company and light help — making tea, accompanying walks, playing games, helping with small household tasks and being a consistent, friendly face in their day.
Right now, 154 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship shifts are ideal if you enjoy spending time with people, encouraging independence and turning ordinary days into something to look forward to. Typical pay for these roles is £19–£21.30 per hour, with common ranges shown as £19–£21.30 per hour for hourly visits and £148–£164 per day for longer live-in days. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — whether you want a few regular morning calls around St Jamess, afternoons for local outings toward Chinatown, London, Greenhill, Soho, Charing Cross and Mayfair, or weekend support across Westminster.
We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience who can bring warmth, patience and good communication. To join you will need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
- Typical duties: friendly conversation, accompanying clients to local shops or parks, help with hobbies and activities, light household tasks, and providing reassurance and companionship.
- Who this suits: experienced carers wanting more control than agency patterns allow, people who value continuity, and those who enjoy building real rapport with clients in St Jamess and nearby areas.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working through the platform. That means less paperwork and more time doing the job you joined care for.
