If you enjoy conversation, gentle outings and helping someone keep the hobbies and routines that matter, these companion carer opportunities around Hay on Wye could suit you.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own approach and your own rates, with typical pay in the range £20–£22.50 per hour. You pick which clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover — many carers based in and around Hay on Wye also help clients in Talgarth, Kington, Old Radnor, Llangors, Builth Wells and Brecon and elsewhere in Powys.

This role suits experienced carers who prefer meaningful one-to-one time rather than task-driven shifts. You’ll be building rapport, supporting wellbeing and offering reassurance; light household help is often part of the role, but this is companionship first. If you’re leaving agency shift work for a more flexible, relationship-led way of caring, Hay on Wye offers a calm community and regular opportunities.
