Description

You’ll live with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines and offering companionship and personal care around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take on live-in roles around Carmarthen and in parts of Carmarthenshire.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose who you work for and decide your hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Live-in work suits people who are comfortable offering hands-on personal care, managing medication prompts and household routines, and giving companionship through evenings and nights. You will have agreed breaks and clear boundaries for duties before you travel. Carers on our platform travel from nearby towns such as Kidwelly, St Clears, Laugharne, Burry Port, Llandysul and Whitland and further afield to cover placements in Carmarthen.
Pay is set by each carer, so you control what you earn. Typical rates for care roles on PrimeCarers are £146–£162.50 per day. For live-in work you’ll usually negotiate a day rate that reflects the 24-hour nature of the role and allowed rest periods; PrimeCarers supports clear, fair agreements between carers and families.

We don’t advertise one-off shifts here — this page lists ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Carmarthen and Carmarthenshire rather than a single placement.
