Description
Live-in care in Strabane means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many live-in carers travel from across the country for placements, and roles in and around Strabane are varied, hands-on and deeply rewarding. Right now, 4 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life typically allows. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and decide when you take breaks or time off. If you’re used to agency rotas and want a different way of working in Strabane or elsewhere in County Tyrone, live-in roles give continuity of care and stronger relationships with the people you support.
