Respite Carer Jobs in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

Short-term and weekend respite cover is in steady demand across Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and the wider Anglesey area. You’ll support family carers by providing a few hours’ relief, evening cover or a couple of days’ break — whatever the client needs for that moment.

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

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: set your own rates, choose the hours you want and pick the clients you accept. Many carers in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll prefer this way of working because it moves them away from rota-driven agency shifts while keeping flexibility. Typical pay for respite work is £18.70–£19 per hour, and you can decide whether to offer shorter hourly visits or longer live-in periods. You can also set different rates for sitting and live-in care using £18.70–£19 per hour and £146–£160 per day where appropriate.

The kind of support you might provide includes companionship, personal care, medication prompts, short-stay transfers and household tasks while the primary carer has a break. Shifts vary from a few hours in the evening or at weekends to overnight or multi-day cover — you control which jobs suit you and your availability in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers takes care of finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you’re working for a family through the platform. This is an ongoing stream of self-employed opportunities rather than one specific role.

If you’re used to agency life and want more control — choosing clients, setting hours and keeping more of what you earn — PrimeCarers can be a straightforward change. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can pick work locally in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or in nearby areas such as Menai Bridge, Bangor, Y Felinheli, Llangefni, Beaumaris and Caernarfon.
