Description
Looking for companionship care work in Wallington that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who want conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home. You’ll meet people who mainly need company and reassurance — short visits, regular calls or friendly day support across Wallington and nearby streets.
Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship work is about relationship and reliability rather than personal care tasks. Typical visits include spending time chatting, accompanying someone to a local café or shop, joining in hobbies at home, and helping to keep a warm, settled environment with light domestic tasks. Many families in Wallington and Sutton look for carers who can be a calm, steady presence — someone who listens, notices small changes and enjoys being sociable.
Pay and hours are flexible. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical figures are shown here: £18.80–£20 per hour. You can quote by the hour £18.80–£20 per hour or for live-in day work £145–£160 per day, and you choose which clients, hours and neighbourhoods you’ll work in, including around Carshalton, Beddington, Waddon, Purley, South Croydon and Mitcham.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less paperwork and clearer arrangements for both you and the people you support.
Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced carers. 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 if you don’t have a current one. We check references and ID as part of our verification so families can book with confidence.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control over your time and who you work with, this could be the change you’re looking for. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed, choose your clients and set your calendar — with PrimeCarers supporting contracts and payments behind the scenes.
