Description
Live-in care in Fishguard means living in with a client and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. If you want to move away from restrictive agency rotas and keep the hands‑on, personal work you enjoy, these roles in Pembrokeshire are designed for experienced, self‑employed carers.
Right now, 24 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in placements ask for reliable, practical support: help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, mobility, companionship and keeping the household running. You may also support evening and overnight routines, and be the person families rely on for continuity of care. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many people choose Fishguard because of its community feel and proximity to the coast.
Pay is set by you as a self‑employed carer. Typical care rates fall in the range £146–£161 per day; for day-based live-in work see £146–£161 per day and for hourly support see £15–£25 per hour. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you want to work and the service area you cover. PrimeCarers finds matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You also need an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. The application takes minutes, and most profiles go live within days once we’ve verified your checks and references.
These live-in roles suit experienced carers who want more control over what they do and who they work with. If you’re used to agency life but want to reduce travel between short shifts, live-in work in and around Fishguard can offer longer, consistent periods with a single person or couple. You’ll often be working with families from nearby towns such as Goodwick, Haverfordwest, St Davids, Cardigan, Narberth and Milford Haven and across Pembrokeshire.
Applying is simple: create a profile, upload your documents and set your rates. PrimeCarers does the matchmaking and the admin so you can focus on care. If you’d like to explore live-in care in Fishguard, it really is worth spending a few minutes on your profile — many carers find their first matches within days.
