Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed companion carers with families across St Pancras who want regular company, reassurance and help to enjoy life at home. The role is companionship-first: conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the house rather than clinical care. Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a companion carer in St Pancras you set your own rates and working pattern, choose the clients you want to support and define your service area. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour. Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from agency shifts and take control of when and where they work across St Pancras and neighbouring areas including Bloomsbury, Somerstown, Kings Cross, Fitzrovia, Pentonville and Clerkenwell. Camden families are among those looking for reliable, friendly companionship.

What the work involves:

  • Conversation and companionship—tea, trips to the park, board games, reminiscence and regular check-ins to give clients peace of mind.
  • Outings and activities—accompanying people to appointments, cafés, local groups and short day trips.
  • Light support at home—help with meals, light tidying, reminders and ensuring a safe, pleasant environment.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who enjoy building relationships and supporting independence. It’s ideal for people who value flexibility, want to avoid unpredictable agency rotas and prefer working with the same clients over time in St Pancras and nearby streets.

What PrimeCarers handles for you: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, choose the hours you take and can set your own service area — whether you prefer central St Pancras or surrounding parts of Camden.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 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 verify these quickly so you can start taking enquiries.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Create a profile, tell families about the companionship you offer and start choosing the clients and hours that fit your life in St Pancras and across Camden.
