Description
Live-in care in Newtown lets you provide full, compassionate support while living in a client’s home. You’ll help with routines, personal care, companionship and household tasks across the day and night, with agreed breaks built into every arrangement. Carers travel from across the country for placements in and around Newtown, and many find the continuity rewarding for both them and the people they support. Right now, 94 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose your own clients, hours and the area you cover. Many live-in carers set rates that reflect their experience and availability. Typical live-in and hourly ranges are shown to families, so you can negotiate with confidence. See £145–£160 per day, £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day for the usual ranges on the platform.
Live-in work suits carers who want steady, hands-on relationships with clients and the stability of living in one place for an agreed period. You’ll be expected to stay in the client’s home and provide around-the-clock support with planned rest breaks. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over which clients you accept, live-in roles through PrimeCarers are designed for that kind of move.
To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t create job descriptions for a single post here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Newtown and the surrounding areas of Powys, so your profile can be matched to families near you or further afield.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on placements found through the platform. That means you can focus on care rather than admin. Carers based in Newtown, and in neighbouring towns like Montgomery, Llanfair Caereinion, Llanidloes, Welshpool, Bishops Castle and Clun, regularly accept live-in placements that suit their lifestyle and commitments.
Applying is quick — it takes minutes to create a profile and most carers go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to highlight your experience, availability and the kinds of live-in roles you prefer. If you’re an experienced carer in Newtown or elsewhere in Powys interested in a different way of working, create your profile and start choosing the clients and hours that work for you.
