Description

Live‑in care with PrimeCarers means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You remain self‑employed, set your own rates and pick the clients and hours that suit you. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency work. You’ll help with personal care, mobility, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household routines — the sort of steady, trusted support that keeps someone safe and well at home in Caerphilly. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and are comfortable settling into a new household for blocks of days at a time.

Pay and practicals are clear: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically work within £145–£160 per day. For shorter daytime care there’s an hourly option (£18.80–£22 per hour) and for live‑in placements we show a typical day range (£145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you are working on a placement.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single job here — this page is about ongoing live‑in roles across Caerphilly and surrounding areas such as Pontypridd, Cardiff, Llantrisant, Grangetown, Porth and Cwmbran.

Registration takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain self‑employed throughout: choose the clients, hours and service area that match your life and commitments. PrimeCarers is there to support the paperwork so you can focus on caring.

If you’re an experienced carer wanting greater control and steadier live‑in work in Caerphilly, this could be the step away from agency rotas and toward work you choose. Apply in minutes and start seeing suitable placements soon after verification. Please note these are ongoing opportunities rather than a single role.
