Description

Offer company and reassurance to older people across Holyhead. As a companion carer you’ll focus on conversation, outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of support that keeps someone connected and confident in their own home. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Companion care suits experienced carers who enjoy spending time with people rather than heavy personal care tasks. You might be driving a client to a social group, reading together, accompanying someone on a walk, helping with light household jobs or just being a steady presence for an afternoon. Most of our clients need companionship, emotional support and practical reassurance rather than full personal care.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical companion roles pay £15–£25 per hour depending on the care you offer and the hours you choose. You pick your clients, your schedule and your service area across Holyhead and nearby towns such as Amlwch, Llangefni, Benllech, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Caernarfon and Y Felinheli. PrimeCarers finds matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on people, not paperwork.

This work is a good fit if you’ve already got at least a year’s professional care experience, want more control than agency life allows, and prefer steady, relationship-based visits. You’ll be building trust, supporting routines and joining clients in the small things that improve their day.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references
