Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Dolgellau

Looking for live-in care work in Dolgellau and the surrounding area? Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and wellbeing around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel to Dolgellau from across the country for short- and long-term placements. Right now, 44 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want continuity and the chance to build a relationship with one person or a family. You’ll help with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, companionship and practical tasks to keep daily life running smoothly. Placements are based in Dolgellau and nearby towns such as Llanfachreth, Barmouth, Machynlleth, Harlech, Tywyn and Porthmadog in Gwynedd and the wider Powys area, so you can choose how far you’re willing to travel.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rate — many carers list rates around £145–£160 per day — and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay can be discussed and advertised using £15–£25 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you keep the hands-on care where you want it.

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. Below is a quick checklist:

• Experience: minimum 1 year of professional care experience.
• Legal: right to work in the UK.
• Checks and references: Enhanced DBS (assist available) and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers is set up for people who want the freedom of self-employment without all the admin. We’ll introduce you to local families, handle the paperwork and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. Many carers move to live-in roles in Dolgellau for the steady routine and deeper client relationships — and because placements often let you plan agreed breaks and time off between stays.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
