Hi jbb,
Since you have completed 3 years, I would suggest you stick on to the same company for another 11 months somehow till your 3 year 11 month clock completes which will then enable you to apply for ILR.
After your ILR you will be able to take up jobs in the freelancing/contracting market.
Recruitment/umbrella companies are technically not allowed to employ you and sponsor workpermits because of their nature of services being different from your skillset.
Right now your status does not allow you to do contracting/self employment since you are on a visa which has restrictions due to your workpermit.
If you find an IT company to sponsor WP, then go for it by all means.
