Description
Live-in care in Llanelli means living with a client in their home to support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. These placements suit carers who prefer continuity, close relationship-based support and the chance to travel for work — many carers travel from across the country for live-in roles in and around Llanelli and across Carmarthenshire.
Right now, 33 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than a single post. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical rates for this kind of role are £146–£161 per day. For clarity, you may see figures presented as £15–£25 per hour for hourly care or £146–£161 per day for live-in day rates, but you remain in control of your pricing and availability.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work with a client sourced through the platform. You remain self-employed: you accept the placements you want and manage your own working pattern and breaks.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than typical agency shifts, and people used to delivering personal, respectful support for daily living, mobility, medication prompts and companionship. Live-in roles are often about building trust and continuity — the job is as much about relationships as it is about tasks. Many carers who join PrimeCarers come from agency backgrounds and value the freedom to choose clients in Llanelli, nearby towns such as Burry Port, Gorseinon, Kidwelly, Lliw Valey, Ammanford and Glanamman, or elsewhere in Carmarthenshire.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. The application takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and, after verification, most profiles go live within days.
How to apply: sign up on PrimeCarers, complete your profile and select live-in availability. We’ll promote your profile to families seeking live-in support and handle the paperwork once a match is agreed. Travelling to a placement is common and carers come from across the country to work in Llanelli and the surrounding areas.
