Description

If you’re an experienced carer in Llandeilo looking for short-term or weekend respite work, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families who need cover from a few hours up to a few days. This role is about giving family carers a proper break — supporting people at home with personal care, companionship, medication prompts and practical help so the family can recharge. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of work suits carers who value flexibility and want more control than agency shifts allow. You’ll be self-employed, choose your own clients, decide your hours and define the area you’ll travel to across Llandeilo and surrounding parts of Carmarthenshire. Typical rates vary so you can set what works for you; many carers list rates around £16.89–£19.20 per hour depending on experience and duties.

PrimeCarers does the admin for you: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any booking. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing local weekend respite opportunities quickly.

What the shifts involve

  • Short respite visits for a few hours to give family carers a break.
  • Weekend stays or day cover that may include personal care, meal support, mobility assistance and companionship.
  • Clear handovers with family carers and a focus on respect, safety and dignity.

Who we’re looking for

  • At least one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

If you already work around Llandeilo, or travel from nearby towns like Glanamman, Ammanford, Garnant, Llandovery, Lliw Valey and Carmarthen, this is a great way to build ongoing weekend and short-term respite work while staying in control of your diary.
