Description

Live-in Carer roles around Kington are ideal for experienced, hands-on carers who want to live with a client and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and provide personal care, companionship and help to keep a household running in someone’s own home. Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in carer you’ll help with day-to-day tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, meal support, mobility assistance and companionship. You’ll be part of a client’s everyday life in their home in Kington — helping them stay comfortable and safe while keeping their routines familiar. Live-in work requires practical problem solving, calm communication and respect for a client’s space and privacy.

This work suits people who want steady, focused support roles rather than short shifts. Many carers who join PrimeCarers choose live-in placements to build closer relationships and provide continuity of care. You could be travelling into Kington from elsewhere in the UK or already living in Herefordshire; placements vary and may include nearby towns such as Old Radnor, Presteigne, Knighton, Hay on Wye, Leominster and Cefnllys.

To join you must have:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references from recent care work
