Description
Live-in care in Porth means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers choose live‑in work because it offers continuity, closer relationships and simpler travel arrangements between shifts in local towns. Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Porth and the valleys, including nearby towns such as Pontypridd, Llantrisant, Aberdare, Cowbridge, Maesteg and Tafarnaubach. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, and you can expect a mix of routines: personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship and household tasks that keep a person safe and comfortable at home. You’ll be supporting a client’s daily life rather than filling short turns of shifts.
This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers. You set your own rates and choose who you work with, so you can match the support you give to the level of responsibility you accept. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day and many carers compare options using the hourly and live‑in ranges below when they set rates.
What PrimeCarers handles for you: we find clients, manage written contracts, issue invoices and process payments. Insurance is included while you work on placements booked through the platform, so you can focus on care and on building trusting relationships in a Porth household.
Requirements to join: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self‑employed: you choose clients, hours and service area.
Live‑in days include agreed rest breaks and time away from duties; these terms are agreed with each family before you accept a placement. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can move from agency rotas to choosing your own live‑in work quickly.
