Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Newport

Looking for live-in care work in Newport that puts you in control? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families needing round-the-clock support at home. Live-in roles mean you’ll be living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and providing companionship while taking agreed breaks. Right now, 100 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements attract carers from across the country, and many who join us travel into Newport for longer stays. You set your own rates and terms — typical ranges are £145–£160 per day — and you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay examples we share with carers are £18.50–£22 per hour for hourly work and £145–£160 per day per day for live-in care, but remember you set your own rate when you create a profile.

PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less paperwork for you and a clear way to invoice each placement. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing matches quickly.

This type of role suits carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience, hold an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), have the right to work in the UK and can provide verifiable references. We’re looking for people who can manage personal care, medication support where agreed, meal preparation, mobility assistance and provide emotional support through companionship.

Working live-in isn’t a single shift pattern — it’s a responsibility that requires reliability, good boundaries and the ability to rest during agreed breaks. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with clear contracts, insurance while you work and a simple invoicing system so you can focus on care. Many of our carers come from nearby towns to Newport, or work in surrounding areas such as Cwmbran, Usk, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Caldicot and Clevedon.

If you’re thinking of moving away from agency timetables and want greater control over who you work for and when, creating a profile is the first step. You’ll be asked for work history, references and proof of right to work; once verified, your profile will appear to local families searching for live-in care. Start the short application now — it only takes minutes and could open up steady live-in work in Newport and beyond.
