Companion Carer Jobs in Sheffield

Join PrimeCarers to offer companionship care in Sheffield and surrounding parts of South Yorkshire. This role is about conversation, companionship on outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people whose main need is company and reassurance. You’ll be self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you.

Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companion care in Sheffield typically involves regular visits, day outings, support with activities like reading, walks, crafts or shopping, and a steadying presence at home. It’s ideal if you enjoy conversation, are patient, calm and reliable, and have the ability to build trust over time. You may support older people, people living with dementia or adults who need emotional support and a friendly routine rather than intensive personal care.

Pay and flexibility are yours to decide: many carers on the platform charge within £18.80–£20 per hour and set hours that fit around other commitments. You can offer hourly visits, longer day support or live‑in companionship (see typical ranges: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers introduces you to clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you keep your focus on the person you’re supporting.

We ask that you have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and two verifiable references. Many carers coming from agency work tell us they value keeping their autonomy: choosing the people they visit, setting their own travel area and deciding which tasks they’re comfortable doing. You can cover Sheffield and nearby towns including Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse, Rotherham, Eckington, Over Woodhouse and Killamarsh.

Applying takes minutes. Your profile is reviewed and verified quickly and typically goes live within days, so you can start accepting bookings as soon as you’re ready. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with straightforward admin, clear contracts and timely payments, while you stay in control of your work and life balance in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire.

If you want companionship work that values your skills, gives you flexibility and connects you directly with families, creating a profile is the next step. It only takes a few minutes to apply and find the kind of companionship care work you prefer.
