Description
Live-in care in Holywood means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. If you’re an experienced carer who wants more control over the work you accept, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families in Holywood and across North Down. Carers often travel from other areas for live-in placements and can decide how far they’ll go. We arrange client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provide insurance while you work.
Right now, 9 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates (typical range: £148–£166 per day), and you choose your clients, hours and service area. Live-in care is about companionship, personal care, medication support, meal preparation and helping someone remain independent in their own home. The role suits carers who are comfortable being part of someone’s daily life, can manage overnight routines and who want the consistency of a live-in arrangement.
Live-in placements mean you live in the client’s home for an agreed period and take breaks as arranged with the family. Some carers travel to Holywood from other parts of the UK for these roles; others join placements close to home. Typical pay structures vary — you can view typical hourly and live-in ranges on the platform: £18.80–£19.50 per hour and £148–£166 per day — then set the exact rates that suit you.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We review profiles and references to protect families and carers. PrimeCarers handles client contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care; insurance is included while you are working on a placement.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We list opportunities around Holywood and nearby towns including Merville Garden Village, Dundonald, Greenisland, Newtownards, Comber and Carryduff. This page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities rather than one specific role.
