Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Ffestiniog and across Conwy who want familiar, routine-led support for people living with dementia at home. These are ongoing opportunities to help someone remain in their own house, keeping day-to-day life calm and consistent while you work with patience, gentle communication and practical routines.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Typical support includes companionship, prompting daily routines, meal support, personal care where needed, and creating reassuring, predictable days. You’ll often support people who respond best to familiar faces and small, steady activities rather than frequent staff changes. Work is based around the individual’s home so your ability to build relationships and follow known patterns matters more than formal task lists.

This page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers in and around Ffestiniog set rates within £15–£25 per hour depending on the care required and the hours agreed. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are £15–£25 per hour and £146.50–£161 per day respectively.

Who this suits: experienced carers who value continuity of care and would prefer to work one-to-one with families, often as an alternative to agency shifts. If you want fewer different calls, deeper relationships with people living with dementia, and more control over when you work, these roles could fit. Many carers who join from agency work tell us they appreciate the steady routines and clearer handovers that home-based dementia support brings.

  • Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.
  • How PrimeCarers helps: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work, so you can focus on care.

You choose which families to contact and which jobs to accept — many carers cover Ffestiniog itself and nearby communities such as Blaenau Ffestiniog, Betws y Coed, Porthmadog, Llanrwst, Harlech and Llanberis. Applying takes minutes and once verified, profiles typically go live within days; you can start matching with local families in and around Ffestiniog quickly.
