Description
Live-in care in Leominster means being a trusted presence in someone’s home: you’ll live with a client, support daily routines, help with personal care and medicines, meal preparation and companionship, and agree regular breaks so you can rest. Many carers travel from across the country for placements that suit their skills and lifestyle. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single post. You choose which clients you work with, the hours you offer and the service area you’ll cover around Leominster and nearby towns such as Tenbury Wells, Ludlow, Bromyard, Presteigne, Hereford and Kington. PrimeCarers finds families for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day for care work.
Live-in care suits experienced, confident carers who can manage personal care, medication prompts, household tasks and companionship while being resident in the client’s home. Shifts are arranged so you have agreed breaks and time away. Some roles will need overnight support; others are more active during the day. Travel to placements outside Herefordshire is common for live-in roles, and many carers prefer the steady routine and deeper relationships that live-in work brings.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not ask you to give up your independence; you remain self-employed and free to set your care rates and availability. PrimeCarers supports the paperwork side so you can focus on care.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload ID and references, and complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Leominster, nearby Herefordshire towns or further afield and you want to move away from agency routines while keeping steady work, this could be a better way to work.
