Description
PrimeCarers connects self‑employed companionship carers with families across Ammanford and the surrounding parts of Carmarthenshire. If you enjoy conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home, you can choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you while keeping the personal, reassuring side of care front and centre.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship shifts are about being present, easing loneliness and supporting everyday life — collecting shopping, joining a local coffee, helping with light household tasks or simply offering company and reassurance. Work in Ammanford might involve short daily visits, regular afternoon calls or longer social outings; everything is arranged between you and the family. You remain self‑employed, set your own rates and keep control of when and where you work.
Pay is flexible: most carers charge in line with £17.50–£19.20 per hour depending on experience and the support asked for. Some choose to quote hourly rates for visits, others prefer a daily live‑in approach for longer support. PrimeCarers supports the admin so you can focus on care: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who value autonomy. You’ll be confident chatting, gently prompting, planning simple activities and supporting people to get out of the house safely. If you’ve worked in care for at least a year and have a track record of reliable, compassionate support, you’ll fit well here.
- Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references.
- How you work: self‑employed — you pick clients, set hours and choose your service area (Ammanford and nearby towns such as Glanamman, Garnant, Lliw Valey, Llandeilo, Gorseinon and Llanelli).
Many carers join PrimeCarers to step away from agency rota pressures while keeping regular, meaningful contacts with families in Ammanford and across Carmarthenshire. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you negotiate each booking directly with the family.
