Description
Looking for companionship care work in Totteridge that fits your life and experience? On PrimeCarers you’ll meet local families who want conversation, planned outings, help with hobbies and light support around the home — the kind of companionship that keeps people confident and connected. Right now, 153 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship roles typically involve spending time chatting, going for walks or to community groups, helping with hobbies, light household tasks and being a reassuring presence. These roles suit experienced carers who enjoy building relaxed, trusting relationships rather than clinical tasks. Most people we match in Totteridge want regular calls and visits to support independence and company during the day or early evening.
As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Many carers in and around Totteridge set rates in line with local expectations — from £19–£21.50 per hour — and take on work that fits their schedule. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Requirements to join are clear and simple:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK

If you’re currently in agency work and want more control, PrimeCarers is built for that transition. You keep the freedom to accept or decline bookings, pick the hours that suit you, and concentrate on companionship rather than extra administration. Many carers from nearby areas such as Whetstone, Woodside Park, Oakleigh Park, Chipping Barnet, North Finchley and Brunswick Park join to reduce travel time and focus on clients local to Totteridge and Enfield.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days.
