Description

Looking for live-in care work around Montgomery that fits your life and experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families seeking in-home support. You’ll live with a client, help with daily routines and provide companionship and personal care with agreed breaks. Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care means being present in a household to support routines, medicines, meals and mobility across the day and night while taking agreed rest breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many who join us come from agency backgrounds wanting more control over who they work with. You set your own rates and choose the roles you want; typical rates fall in the range £145–£160 per day. Day and hourly figures are also shown on each role: £145–£160 per day for live-in days and £15–£25 per hour for hourly care.

These roles suit experienced, confident carers who can work independently in someone’s home. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for these as part of verification so families can feel confident inviting you into their home in Montgomery and across Powys.

PrimeCarers makes the running easier. We find clients, handle contracts, invoices and payments, and provide insurance while you work on a placement. That means you can focus on the care and relationships instead of admin. You choose the clients, hours and service area — whether you prefer placements in the town itself or nearby communities such as Welshpool, Newtown, Bishops Castle, Llanfair Caereinion, Clun and Church Stretton.

Applying takes minutes and is straightforward. Build a short profile, upload references and checks, and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and once active you can review opportunities and choose the placements that suit you.

If you’re ready to move away from agency schedules and want the autonomy of self-employed live-in work in and around Montgomery, PrimeCarers supports you every step of the way — from profiles to payments and insurance.
