Description

Live-in care in Shotton means living with someone in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for longer-stay live-in placements, and PrimeCarers connects you directly with families while you remain self-employed and in control. Right now, 48 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want continuity, close relationships and to escape unpredictable agency rotas. In Shotton you'll be working in family homes and small households across the town and nearby areas including Connahs Quay, Ewole, Hawarden, Buckley, Flint and Saltney. You’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal support, mobility and companionship — tailoring your support to the person, their preferences and their home routine. Locations across Flintshire regularly need reliable live-in carers, and many placements suit professionals used to working with dignity and discretion.

On PrimeCarers you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates on the platform are £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you focus on care, not paperwork. You remain self-employed and keep control over how and when you work.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify these quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review enquiries, discuss duties with families and agree breaks and routines before committing to a placement in Shotton or elsewhere in Flintshire.

These listings are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Shotton and the wider area, not a single role. If you’re tired of agency payroll cycles and want predictable live-in work where you set the terms, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move on. Create your profile, upload your checks and references, and start seeing suitable live-in requests — many carers find placements near Shotton within days and travel when they choose to.
