Description

Live-in care in Penmaenmawr means living with a client in their home to support daily life around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. These roles suit experienced carers who want continuity of care, deeper relationships, and the chance to work independently across Conwy and surrounding areas. Right now, 38 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you’ll be self-employed and set your own hours and rates. Many carers in the area earn within £145–£160 per day, with typical hourly care work showing £18.50–£18.80 per hour and live-in day rates commonly appearing as £145–£160 per day. You choose the clients you want to work with and the service area you’ll accept; some carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Penmaenmawr and nearby towns including Llanfairfechan, Deganwy, Llandudno Junction, Llandudno, Beaumaris and Colwyn Bay.

What the role involves: living in the client’s home, supporting daily routines such as personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship and mobility assistance. Live-in shifts are about consistent, person-centred support rather than short visits — you’ll work to an agreed schedule with appropriate breaks and private time. This is ongoing work rather than one-off assignments, and it suits carers who value a steady caring role and close community connection in Penmaenmawr.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working for a client found through the platform, insurance is included. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, decide which clients to accept, and agree hours directly. The platform also helps with practical checks — PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.

Who we’re looking for: carers with at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (or willing to obtain one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. If you’ve been thinking about moving away from agency rotas, live-in care with PrimeCarers lets you take more control of your work-life balance while continuing to deliver high-quality support in Penmaenmawr and the wider Conwy area.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days — then you can start choosing clients and arranging placements. If you want more flexibility, deeper relationships with clients, and the ability to set your own terms while prime logistical tasks are managed for you, live-in care in Penmaenmawr could be the right next step.
