Description

Working as a companion carer in Tottenham Green means your day is about conversation, reassurance and helping someone keep doing the things they love — regular walks, trips to the shops, light household tasks and time for hobbies. Many families in Tottenham Green and across Haringey are looking for carers who bring calm company, gentle encouragement and a friendly, reliable presence. Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self-employed opportunities are ideal if you prefer time with one or two people rather than task-driven care. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours that suit you and the part of Tottenham Green you’re happy to cover — and you can extend that area to include South Tottenham, Tottenham Hale, Tottenham, Harringay, Turnpike Lane and Stamford Hill if you wish. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and can expect typical pay of £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the client and the arrangement.

Day-to-day companionship work often includes:

  • Friendly conversation, reading or reminiscence sessions
  • Accompanying people to appointments, shops or community activities
  • Supporting hobbies, simple crafts or outings
  • Light help around the home for comfort and safety

This role suits experienced carers who value consistency and relationship-based support. It’s a good fit if you’ve worked in care for at least a year and want more control than typical agency shifts allow. PrimeCarers handles finding families, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on the people you care for.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this). Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re looking for reliable, respectful and warm carers across Tottenham Green who enjoy spending quality time with people and building trust. If you’re ready to set your own hours and choose the work that fits your life, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started.
