Live-in Carer Jobs in Barry

Live-in carer roles in Barry for experienced, self-employed carers who want control over their work and close, consistent relationships with families. You’ll live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many live-in carers travel from across the country for placements and are comfortable staying away from home for the agreed period. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers in the Barry area use the platform to move away from agency rotas and toward steady, trusted placements. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, and you remain self-employed so you decide what works for you. We put carers in touch with local families across Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan and nearby communities such as Penarth, Grangetown, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Llantrisant and Weston super Mare.

Live-in work suits carers who enjoy building routines: helping with morning and evening care, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and providing companionship. Shifts can include overnight monitoring and waking duties within an agreed schedule, with clear breaks written into each agreement. Because placements vary, you’ll always review the family’s needs before accepting a match.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. As a self-employed carer you invoice through the platform and keep control of your diary and rates. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one.

Joining takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit documents for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you can start reviewing live-in opportunities in Barry and across the Vale of Glamorgan as soon as your profile is active. If you’re used to agency life but want steadier matches and more say over your work, PrimeCarers makes the change straightforward and transparent.

To apply, complete the short online form and upload your references and DBS (or ask us to help with a check). Your profile will be reviewed and — once verified — you’ll be able to connect directly with families looking for reliable live-in care in Barry and the surrounding area.
