Description
If you enjoy company work — conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and a little light help around the home — there are ongoing companion carer opportunities in Over Woodhouse that suit people who want predictable, relationship-led care rather than heavy personal care. These roles focus on reassurance, companionship and helping people stay active and connected in their own homes in Over Woodhouse and the surrounding area.
Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
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
- An Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references from recent care or employer contacts
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Over Woodhouse rather than a single specific role, so once approved you can pick and choose the companion work that fits your life.
