PrimeCarers is looking for experienced companion carers across Criccieth and the surrounding area. If you enjoy conversation, supporting outings, joining in hobbies and offering light help around the home, you can find ongoing self-employed opportunities that fit your life. You pick the clients you want to work with, the hours you do and the area you cover in and around Criccieth.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Companion care is about being present, reliable and kind. Typical tasks include friendly conversation, accompanying people to shops or appointments, helping with hobbies and interests, light household tasks like making drinks or tidying, and reassuring someone who lives at home. Most clients need company and a steady, trusted face rather than clinical support. Roles arise across Criccieth and nearby towns such as Porthmadog, Harlech, Pwllheli, Nefyn, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Ffestiniog.

Pay is set by you. Typical rates for companion care in this area are £15–£25 per hour; more detail such as hourly and live‑in ranges is available on the platform: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day. Because carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed you keep control of your income and working pattern, while PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, good people skills and a calm, friendly approach, companion work could be a great fit. The role suits carers who prefer spending time chatting, going for walks, supporting hobbies and being a reassuring presence in someone’s home across Criccieth. It’s also well‑suited to experienced agency carers looking for more control over shifts and clients.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers include at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We vet every profile before it goes live; applying takes minutes and profiles typically appear within days of verification.

How the platform helps: you remain self‑employed and set your own rate and hours. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts and payments, and includes insurance while you are working on a booking. You decide which jobs to accept and which parts of Criccieth and the surrounding area you’ll cover.
