Description
As a respite carer in Benllech you’ll provide short-term and weekend cover that gives family carers a real break — from a couple of hours to a few days.

You’ll be part of the local care network across Benllech and the wider Anglesey community. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want more control than agency life often allows. On PrimeCarers you will be self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which households you accept, and pick your hours and service area.

Typical rates sit around £18.50–£18.80 per hour depending on the support required and the hours.
PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of the paperwork so you can focus on care. We handle client matching, contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and insurance is included while you work. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any booking. If you’re used to agency rota rules, this is a chance to control your diary around the life you want in Benllech and across Anglesey.
To join we ask for 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.
