Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients and decide your hours and service area. Typical pay for companion roles is £18.80–£20 per hour, but you keep full control of your pricing and availability. Many carers who used to work for agencies find this model gives them the best balance of autonomy and regular, meaningful work in Over Woodhouse and nearby communities.

We find clients and manage the behind-the-scenes admin so you can focus on care. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. If you want to combine companion visits with gentle household tasks, errands or local outings, that variety is usually available across Over Woodhouse and the wider South Yorkshire patch — including nearby towns such as Hoyland, Wombwell, Wath upon Dearne, Rotherham, Mexborough and Barnsley.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
