Description
We’re looking for experienced carers in Llanfyllin to offer companionship care: friendly conversation, local outings, shared hobbies and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. This is about building connections — a cuppa and a walk, trips to groups, reading, reminiscing and being a calm, reliable presence in someone’s day. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
These opportunities suit carers who value meaningful relationships over task-driven care. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency work, PrimeCarers lets you be self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical rates on our platform are £15–£25 per hour. Many carers set hourly care within £15–£25 per hour and live-in support within £146–£161 per day.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on the care and companionship, not the paperwork. You can accept bookings in Llanfyllin and nearby areas such as Llanfair Caereinion, Welshpool, Oswestry, Chirk, Llangollen and Montgomery — or limit your work to the streets and villages you prefer.
Requirements to join are clear and straightforward:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience — experience with companionship, dementia or older adult care is valuable.
- Enhanced DBS check — we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one.
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
