Description
Live-in care in New Quay means moving into a client's home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship while they remain at home. You’ll provide round-the-clock presence with agreed breaks, helping with mornings, evenings and overnight needs as required. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements to take on long-term, relationship-led work in New Quay and the surrounding Ceredigion coast. Right now, 49 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These opportunities are ongoing and self-employed: you set your own rates and can choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for roles on PrimeCarers are £146–£161 per day; you’ll also see shifts listed using £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £146–£161 per day for day-based live-in rates so you can make informed choices. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.
This kind of role suits carers who want deeper relationships with the people they support, value continuity of care and prefer the autonomy of working self-employed rather than through an agency. Live-in placements around New Quay often involve supporting daily routines, medication prompts, light household tasks and companionship. You’ll need to be comfortable living in someone else’s home and managing agreed rest periods between active support.
