Description

We’re looking for experienced, compassionate carers in Llanrwst who want to offer short-term respite and weekend cover for families. Respite can be anything from a few hours of evening support to overnight or a few days’ cover while a family member takes a break. Many local households prefer familiar, reliable self-employed carers who can step in at short notice and ease the load for family carers.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work on PrimeCarers suits carers who value variety and autonomy. You’ll meet people with a range of needs: personal care, companionship, medication prompts, light household tasks and providing company on outings. Shifts are flexible — many carers pick up occasional evenings, weekend blocks or short live-in periods. You set your rate (typical ranges are displayed to families as £18.50–£25 per hour) and choose the clients and hours you accept.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding families, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. That means you spend more time caring and less time chasing paperwork. We also help arrange an Enhanced DBS check if you need one, so getting started is straightforward.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (or be willing to get one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You should be comfortable working independently, managing short stays and communicating clearly with family carers about needs and routines. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over your time in Conwy and surrounding areas, this could be a good fit.

Many carers list the areas they cover — Llanrwst, Betws y Coed, Penmaenmawr, Llandudno Junction, Llanfairfechan, Deganwy and Colwyn Bay — and choose the travel distance that fits their life. Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload documents and references, and we typically verify profiles within days so you can start seeing families who need respite cover.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Llanrwst and Conwy, not a single role. You won’t be tied into fixed rotas: you decide which bookings to accept and when to work. If you want reliable, flexible respite work that lets you keep doing what you do best, join PrimeCarers and keep care personal.

Tax is yours to sort out

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
