Become a Companion

Good company starts with good people.

We’re looking for thoughtful, reliable people who genuinely enjoy spending time with others.

GoodCompany companions are matched with independent older adults based on personality, interests and pace, then visit the same person regularly so a real relationship can develop.

You might be a good fit if you are:

✓ Warm, curious and a good listener

✓ Reliable and comfortable committing to regular visits

✓ Happy spending time with older adults

✓ Interested in people, conversation and everyday life

✓ Comfortable going for walks, sharing meals, visiting museums, cafés or local activities

✓ Based in or able to travel around London

You do not need to be a carer.

GoodCompany provides companionship and light everyday support, not personal or medical care.

What we look for

All companions go through our selection and checking process, including:

✓ An interview with GoodCompany

✓ Identity checks

✓ DBS check

✓ References

✓ Matching based on personality, interests and availability

What it’s like

You’ll usually be matched with one person and see them regularly.

Visits might involve conversation, cooking together, exploring London, going for a walk, sharing a hobby or simply spending time together at home.

The aim is simple: be someone they genuinely look forward to seeing.
