Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Ballymena

Live-in Care Assistant roles in Ballymena mean living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing continuity and companionship to people who prefer to stay at home. Right now, 6 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in carer you’ll support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, light domestic tasks, mobility assistance and companionship. Duties clear late-night checks and wake-night support through to full daytime assistance — everything agreed in advance with the client so you and the family know what to expect.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want more control than many agencies offer: you choose your clients, hours and service area and are self-employed so you set your own rates. Typical rates on PrimeCarers are £145–£169 per day. For clarity, many care-only hours sit within £15–£25 per hour while live-in day rates commonly fall within £145–£169 per day — listings vary, and you decide what to charge for each placement.

PrimeCarers supports you while you stay independent. We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. We can also help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — so you can be available for placements in Ballymena and further afield quickly.

• Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Right to work: you must have the right to work in the UK.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references are required.

We cover live-in opportunities across County Antrim, including around Ballymena and nearby towns such as Randalstown, Antrim, Ballyclare, Magherafelt, Crumlin and Ballymoney. Many carers leave agency routines because they want clearer rotas, higher control over pay and a closer working relationship with the people they support — live-in roles often deliver that continuity.
