Description
Live-in care placements in Rhayader offer experienced carers the chance to live with a client and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and clear expectations. These roles often suit people who prefer continuity of care and the chance to build a strong relationship with one household. Right now, 82 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a live-in carer you will provide personal and practical support: helping with morning and evening routines, medicines prompts, mobility and companionship, light household tasks and being available through the night when needed. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so you may be based in Rhayader for a period before moving on to another placement elsewhere in Powys or beyond.
This work suits experienced, adaptable carers who want more control than typical agency shifts. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed, you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical rates are £145–£160 per day, with common hourly roles showing £15–£25 per hour and live-in day ranges shown as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers connects you with families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need support. Many placements are around Llandrindod Wells, Cefnllys, Llanidloes, Builth Wells, Llanwrtyd Wells and Wales and regularly in and near Rhayader, so local knowledge is useful but carers from elsewhere are welcome.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and checks, and we’ll verify you — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client enquiries and accept the placements that fit your needs. PrimeCarers looks after the paperwork so you can focus on care.
