Companionship Carer Jobs in Anston

Work with older people in Anston offering companionship, conversation, outings, support with hobbies and light help around the home. These roles are about reassurance and company more than personal care: a warm chat over tea, a walk to the park, accompanying someone to a community group or helping with small household tasks to keep life normal and sociable. Right now, 20 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities for companionship carers across Anston and the surrounding area. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep control of your diary. PrimeCarers does the client matching, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on the people you support. Many carers find they can earn well while working more predictably than they did through agencies. We typically see rates around £18.50–£20 per hour for companionship shifts.

Who this suits: experienced carers who enjoy company-led work and want to step away from agency-style rotas. If you prefer spending time on conversation, helping a client pursue a hobby, or joining them on short trips into town, these roles are a good fit. The work often involves gentle practical help — making a hot drink, light tidying, supporting mobility on an outing — but the emphasis is on companionship and emotional reassurance. There are opportunities across South Yorkshire, including travel to nearby communities such as Dinnington, Maltby, Killamarsh, Worksop, Tickhill and Eckington when you choose to cover them.

• Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one.
• Right to work: you must have the legal right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references.
• Independent status: these are self-employed roles and you are responsible for your tax and National Insurance.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days so families in Anston and nearby towns can find you. PrimeCarers will introduce you to suitable clients; you then choose who you want to work with and when. If you are ready to move away from agency shifts and build a steadier, more personal companionship service in Anston, this is a practical route to do it on your terms.

If you have questions about the process or the checks, PrimeCarers’ team can walk you through early steps — including help with DBS — so you can get started with confidence.
