Description
Join PrimeCarers as a companion carer around Tickhill and help local people stay connected, active and reassured in their own homes. This is companionship-led work: conversation, outings to local shops or cafés, shared hobbies, and light help around the home to make a client’s day easier. You’ll spend time building trusting relationships, keeping company and offering reassurance rather than providing intensive personal care. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companion roles in Tickhill and nearby areas offer flexibility. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for companion care are £18.80–£20 per hour, with hourly and live-in ranges shown to help you decide what to charge: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. If you’re used to agency rotas and want more control over who you support and when, this could be a better fit.
This work suits people who enjoy conversation, shared interests and gentle practical help: taking a client for a short walk, supporting a hobby, accompanying them to appointments or simply being a calm, reliable presence at home. You’ll often be working with older people who value company above all — in Tickhill and across the local patch including Harworth and Bircotes, Bawtry, Maltby, Edlington, Dinnington and Conisbrough — and you’ll become part of their weekly routine.
PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You remain self-employed and in control of your diary and rates.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start connecting with local families quickly. If you’re ready to leave agency constraints and work on your own terms in Tickhill, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started.
