Description

Live-in care with PrimeCarers is for experienced, compassionate carers who want to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll be able to choose the clients, hours and area you work in while remaining self-employed and in control of your working life.

Right now, 99 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements often attract carers who travel from across the country to work in towns like Builth Wells and nearby communities. Placements involve helping with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility support, companionship and household routines — all tailored to the client’s needs and the agreed care plan. Live-in work suits carers who like building longer-term relationships and being part of someone’s everyday life.

Pay and flexibility are clear: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically work within a market range of £145–£160 per day. Many carers think in hourly terms (see £15–£25 per hour) or live-in day rates (see £145–£160 per day), and you decide what to charge when you accept a client. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides the required insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care.

This is a self-employed opportunity for people with hands-on experience. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. You remain in control: choose clients, agree working hours and take agreed breaks during live-in placements.

PrimeCarers makes applying quick. It takes minutes to create a profile and, once we’ve verified your documents, profiles typically go live within days. Many carers based elsewhere travel to Powys for live-in roles in Builth Wells and neighbouring towns including Llandrindod Wells, Cefnllys, Llanwrtyd Wells, Rhayader, Hay on Wye and Talgarth.

  • Who this suits: experienced carers wanting independence from agency rostering, who enjoy continuity of care and living with a client responsibly.
  • What we manage: client introductions, contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you work.
  • What you manage: your availability, rates, service area and the clients you accept.
