Description
We’re looking for experienced companion carers to connect with families across West Ealing. If you enjoy conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — offering company and reassurance — this role is for you. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role or post.
Right now, 230 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship work here focuses on being present: having a cuppa and a chat, going for walks, supporting hobbies, accompanying someone to appointments or local groups, and helping with small tasks like making meals or light tidying. Most clients want kindness, reliability and someone who can put them at ease rather than clinical care. You’ll find chances to build long-term relationships in West Ealing and nearby areas such as Hanwell, Perivale, Brentford, Greenford, Acton and Gunnersbury.
This kind of work suits carers who value meaningful time with people and want more control than agency life often allows. As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and you keep control of how you work. Typical earning expectations fall within £18.80–£20.39 per hour depending on the care needed and the hours you take.
PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less paperwork for you and more time for real companionship in West Ealing, with the option to accept roles in other parts of Ealing if you wish.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly so your profile can usually go live within days of submission.
Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload your experience and references, and tell us the hours and neighbourhoods you prefer. Once verified you can browse and choose clients that suit you. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts but want the security of client introductions, seamless payments and insurance, this is a straightforward next step.
If you’re an experienced companion carer based in West Ealing who wants more choice and more meaningful time with clients, sign up today and start seeing opportunities across West Ealing and Ealing that fit your life.
