Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who mainly need company, conversation and reassurance. In Flint you’ll support people with friendly visits, outings, hobbies and light help around the home — tea and a chat, a walk to the park, a trip to the shops or time spent on a favourite activity. You choose who you work with, when and where.

Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companionship care suits experienced carers who enjoy social, low‑dependency work and want more control than agency life often allows. Typical tasks include spending time talking, accompanying clients on short outings, encouraging hobbies and offering practical companionship such as preparing a light snack, tidying up or prompting medication reminders (not administering medication). This role is about presence, reassurance and respectful company rather than clinical care.

Pay and flexibility are central. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; many companionship carers in the area charge within £18.50–£20 per hour. You pick your hours and service area, whether that’s central Flint, nearby streets or surrounding communities such as Connahs Quay, Neston, Holywell, Shotton, Ewole and Mold. For longer placements you can agree live‑in day rates if appropriate; typical ranges appear as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day on profiles.

PrimeCarers does the legwork: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on your visits rather than paperwork. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Requirements to join are straightforward and designed for experienced carers: 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. We’ll guide you through verification so you can be matched quickly to families around Flint and elsewhere in Flintshire.

Who this suits: you’re confident chatting, reliable on time and boundaries, and prefer to support independence through companionship rather than clinical tasks. You’ll enjoy the variety of meeting different people and building steady relationships without the rota constraints of agencies.

How to apply: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit for verification. The sign‑up takes minutes and once verified your profile will typically go live within days. If you’re ready to work on terms that fit your life in Flint, join PrimeCarers and start connecting with families who value your company.
