Description

Live-in carer roles around Newquay mean you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and the work suits people who want a close, consistent relationship with the person they support and the stability of a single household. Right now, 44 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This is a platform for experienced, self-employed carers. You set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and you decide which live-in placements are right for you. Typical pay sits in the region of £145–£160 per day and you control how you price your time within that range. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work.

Live-in work often involves personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and supporting daily routines. Shifts can include overnight waking or sleep-in cover, agreed rest breaks and time away from the home as arranged with the family. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you work with and how you’re paid, live-in roles around Newquay and across Ceredigion could be a good fit.

This platform is aimed at carers with real, verifiable experience. To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

PrimeCarers supports you through the paperwork and client introduction so you can focus on care. We help with client matching and draw up the contract; we manage invoicing and payments once work starts and provide insurance cover while you’re working through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be visible to families in Newquay, nearby towns such as New Quay, Aberaeron, Llandysul, Newcastle Emlyn, Lampeter and Cardigan, and across Ceredigion very quickly.

Everything here is offered as ongoing self-employed opportunities — not a single advertised placement. If you value trusted relationships, clearer hours, and the freedom to set your own terms, creating a profile is the next step. It only takes a few minutes to apply, and a member of the team will help with any questions about live-in expectations or checks.
