Description
Live-in care in Dungannon means living in with someone who needs support with daily routines, companionship and personal care, while taking agreed breaks through the day. You will be there for waking and nighttime needs, helping with meals, medication prompts, personal care and keeping the home safe and comfortable. Many carers travel to Dungannon from other parts of the UK for live-in placements and return home between bookings.Right now, 4 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This route suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose who to work with and decide your hours and service area. Typical rates fall in £148–£160 per day and you can accept live-in placements that match your working style.
