Description

Do you enjoy conversation, gentle outings and helping someone keep doing the things they love? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with people in Caernarfon who mainly need company and reassurance. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care here is about time and presence: cups of tea and chat, walks on the promenade, supporting hobbies, accompanying people to appointments or community groups, and light help around the home such as tidying, meal prompts or reminders. Work is often friendly and social rather than clinical, and it suits carers who take pride in building relationships and offering calm, reliable company.

On PrimeCarers you remain fully self-employed — you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and manage the kind of visits you accept. Typical rates for companionship roles are £18.50–£18.80 per hour. You can see both short visits and longer companionship calls in Caernarfon and surrounding areas including Y Felinheli, Llanberis, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Menai Bridge, Llangefni and Bangor and parts of Anglesey.

We find you clients and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and we provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care and conversation while we handle the paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who we're looking for

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience — practical, recent experience matters because companionship often needs judgement and patience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references from previous roles.

If you’re currently working for an agency and considering a change, PrimeCarers offers more control over your time and who you support. Many carers value the straightforward way we handle payments and the fact that they can specialise in companionship rather than clinical tasks. You decide whether you do short social calls, longer companion shifts or occasional weekend outings.
