Description

We’re looking for experienced, self-employed carers who want to focus on companionship in Benllech — conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home to give people company and reassurance. You’ll meet people who value a calm, friendly presence more than hands-on clinical care. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Companionship visits typically include tea-time chats, trips to the shops or park, hobby support (gardening, crafts, reading), accompanying someone to appointments and small domestic tasks such as meal preparation, putting a wash on or changing bedding. The role suits carers who enjoy building relationships and who prefer short visits or regular calls rather than intensive personal or clinical duties. Many carers who leave agency work for PrimeCarers say they appreciate the quieter, relationship-led nature of companionship visits in Benllech and across Anglesey.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you choose your clients, hours and service area. You set your own rates and can aim for £18.70–£19 per hour if that fits your experience and availability. PrimeCarers finds matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Requirements to join are straightforward and built for experienced carers: you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have these in place you can usually be approved and visible to families quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re particularly keen to hear from carers based in or near Benllech who can cover nearby towns including Llangefni, Beaumaris, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Menai Bridge, Bangor and Amlwch. Whether you want regular daytime calls, weekend visits or a few hours each week, you remain in control of which clients you accept and when you work.

How to apply: create your free profile, upload simple documents and references, and tell us about the kind of companionship work you prefer. We’ll review and verify your details, then start sending local matches. You stay self-employed, paid through PrimeCarers' system, with contracts and admin taken care of so you can focus on the care itself.

If you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency life and want more control, this is a straightforward step. Benllech offers a calm, community-focused setting and you could be connecting with local families across Anglesey very soon.
