Live-in care means being part of someone’s day-to-day routine: helping with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks, while being available through the day and night with scheduled rest breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and provide continuity that many families in Aberystwyth prefer.

This kind of work suits carers who want autonomy and deeper relationships rather than shift-based agency rotas. If you have at least one year of professional care experience and enjoy practical hands-on support, live-in roles around Aberystwyth can be very rewarding. Many carers who use PrimeCarers move away from agency pressure to set clearer boundaries, pick clients who match their strengths and make decisions about the hours they keep.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day but you choose what works for you. PrimeCarers finds families for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. This removes much of the admin so you can focus on care while staying independent.

To join we ask for at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t list a single placement here — these are ongoing opportunities across Aberystwyth and the wider Ceredigion area for self-employed carers who meet the checks.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload basic checks and references, and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, you can choose the live-in roles that suit you and arrange travel, rotas and breaks directly with families. If you’re based in or near Aberystwyth, or travel from towns such as Tywyn, Aberaeron, Tregaron, Machynlleth, Newquay and New Quay, joining is straightforward and fast.
