For carers
Join Our Directory
Families search our public directory for a self-employed carer near them, without going through an agency. Get listed so they can find and contact you directly — it's free to join.
Free to join, right now
There's no charge to be listed in the directory at the moment — we want it full of good carers before we worry about anything else. Sign up, get listed, and start being found.
What it takes to be listed
- Register as a carer on Care Companion (free — no card required)
- Add your DBS certificate details and in-date insurance to your profile
- Switch on "List me in the public directory" — one toggle, and you're live
This is the same due diligence a family would expect from any carer they hire directly — see our Becoming a Private Carer guide if you're not set up with these yet.
What families see
Your listing shows the areas and types of support you offer, your bio, and any specialisms you've added — enough for a family to decide whether to get in touch, without an agency in between deciding for them. You control what's on your profile, and you can leave the directory at any time.
