Description
Live‑in care in Buckley means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many live‑in roles are ideal for experienced carers who want continuity of care, to build trusting relationships and to work with more control than agency rotas allow. Right now, 55 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits someone who can manage companionship, personal care, medication prompts and household routines while respecting a client’s home. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, so you could join placements in Buckley or elsewhere in Flintshire and beyond. You set your own boundaries, choose the clients you want to work with and agree hours that suit you.
On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed and set your own rates. Typical rates for roles like this are within £145–£160 per day depending on the client’s needs and your experience. For clarity, many bookings are agreed per hour or per live‑in day — typical ranges are £18.80–£20.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a live‑in day.
PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles the admin so you can focus on care. We take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and you’re covered by insurance while you work. You choose your service area, clients and hours, and you control how you run your work day-to-day — ideal if you’re considering moving away from traditional agency arrangements.
To join you’ll need 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. We’ll guide you through verification and references so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes and most carers’ profiles are live within days of verification.
If you’re based in or around Buckley, or willing to travel to nearby towns like Ewole, Hawarden, Mold, Shotton, Connahs Quay and Flint, PrimeCarers can connect you with families seeking consistent, compassionate live‑in support. We’re looking for reliable, respectful carers who want more control over who they support and how they work.
