Description

Live-in care in Saltney gives experienced carers the chance to work closely with one family, supporting daily routines, companionship and personal care while living in the client’s home. You’ll be on hand around the clock with agreed breaks and rest periods, often travelling from across the country for placements that suit your preferences.

Right now, 63 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re used to agency life and want more control, PrimeCarers lets self-employed carers set their own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for similar roles is £145–£160 per day; many carers reference £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates when comparing opportunities. You remain fully self-employed and decide which matches to accept.

PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement. That means less admin and more time doing what matters: supporting someone in their own home in Saltney, across Flintshire or nearby. We work with carers who want to be trusted, reliable partners for families rather than rotating shift staff.

This kind of role suits carers who have a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be expected to manage day-to-day care, medication prompts where agreed, supporting mobility, mealtimes and household routines, and providing companionship. Live-in placements require flexibility, respect for the household and the ability to live alongside a client while keeping agreed boundaries and breaks.

Saltney placements often attract carers from surrounding areas because the work provides continuity and closer relationships with clients. You might be matched with families from Chester, Hawarden, Ewole, Shotton, Connahs Quay and Buckley and further afield depending on your travel preferences.

  • Flexible control: choose the clients and hours that suit you.
  • Practical support: PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoices and payments while you focus on care.
  • Fast to start: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
  • Professional standards: you must hold the required checks, references and right to work in the UK.

If you’re based in or near Saltney and want to take a different approach to live-in care, create a profile and start seeing matches.

Join PrimeCarers to find live-in opportunities across Saltney, Flintshire and neighbouring towns with less paperwork and more professional freedom.
