Description
Live-in care in Blaenau Ffestiniog means living alongside the person you support and helping with daily routines, companionship and personal care as agreed — with rest breaks built into the plan. Many carers move into live-in work from other parts of the UK to take on placements here; you’ll travel to the client’s home and stay for the agreed period, providing continuity and a calm, familiar presence. Right now, 35 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Carers on the platform commonly work within and around Blaenau Ffestiniog and across Conwy county, and often cover nearby towns such as Ffestiniog, Betws y Coed, Porthmadog, Llanberis, Llanrwst and Harlech. Typical pay for these roles sits around £145–£160 per day. Live-in day rates and hourly care vary by arrangement: typical hourly ranges are £15–£25 per hour and live-in days are typically £145–£160 per day.
This style of work suits experienced carers who value continuity and deeper relationships with the people they support. You’ll help with morning and evening routines, meals, medication prompts, mobility support and companionship — and be available overnight with agreed breaks in place. Live-in roles require flexibility, good boundaries and a willingness to travel; many carers travel from across the country for placements and find the stability of a live-in arrangement rewarding.
PrimeCarers helps by finding clients and handling contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re matched and working through the platform, insurance is included. You remain self-employed: you decide your rates, pick the clients you want and control the hours you accept. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
