Description

Companionship care in Tottenham is about being present — conversation over tea, trips to the park, hobby time, and light help around the home so a client feels safe and reassured. These roles suit people who enjoy company work and steady, meaningful contact rather than clinical tasks. Many clients live across Tottenham and wider Haringey and prefer carers who know the local area and can join them for walks or community activities.
Right now, 216 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you want to move away from agency schedules and agency rates, this is a practical alternative. Carers on PrimeCarers work as self-employed professionals: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour for companionship visits. You may support people in Tottenham Green, Tottenham Hale, South Tottenham and other streets across the borough, or further out towards Tottenham Hale, Tottenham Green, Edmonton, South Tottenham, Turnpike Lane and Wood Green — whatever fits your routine.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on the care itself — talking, going out for tea, helping with light domestic tasks and reassuring someone who wants company — while the platform handles the paperwork. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join, you need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

This isn’t a single advertised shift — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Tottenham and Haringey. You’ll pick the clients that suit you and agree hours directly. If you value steady companionship work, local connections and control over when and where you work, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and choose the kinds of companionship work you want to be matched with. Many carers who move from agency work say they appreciate the clearer admin and the chance to build longer-term relationships with families.
