Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Monmouth

Live-in care in Monmouth means living alongside someone in their own home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship. You’ll work around the clock with agreed breaks and boundaries, helping with mornings, meals, medication prompts, night checks and keeping a home life comfortable and safe. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring valuable, varied experience to local families. Right now, 117 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, professional carers who prefer steady relationships over shift-by-shift agency work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that match your life. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with further details usually shown as £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates — but you decide what to charge based on your experience and needs. You’ll keep more control over your time, and many carers find live-in roles offer deeper continuity of care than rotating shifts.

PrimeCarers helps with the practical side: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. You remain self-employed throughout, setting your own working patterns and agreeing breaks with each family before a placement begins.

To join we ask for 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. We review applications quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you already work across Monmouthshire or are prepared to travel in for a placement, live-in jobs can be a very practical next step in your career.

Many of our live-in carers are experienced with the practical realities of household life — managing medicines, liaising with family and professionals, and keeping detailed logs. If you value continuity, want to build trusted relationships and prefer the predictability of a live-in role, this is designed for you. We list opportunities across Monmouth and nearby towns including Coleford, Ross on Wye, Cinderford, Lydney, Mitcheldean and Usk, so you can consider roles that fit your travel plans and personal commitments.

If you’d like to get started, create a profile and tell us about your experience. We’ll guide you through DBS, references and verification. You’ll stay self-employed, set your own fees and choose clients that suit you — while PrimeCarers supports contracts, payments and insurance so you can focus on great care.
