Description
If you're an experienced carer used to agency life and thinking about the next step, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed live‑in carers with families in and around Tafarnaubach. Live‑in care means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These opportunities suit carers who want real control over their work: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with many placements advertised by the hour (£18.80–£22 per hour) or as a live‑in day rate (£145–£160 per day). You decide which offers fit your needs and availability.
Working as a live‑in carer in Tafarnaubach and nearby communities such as Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr, Blaina, Abertillery and Crickhowell means supporting people with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, companionship and daily tasks. Live‑in shifts will include agreed breaks; terms are arranged between you and the family so they suit both sides.
What you need to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That administrative support lets you focus on care rather than paperwork. Many carers who move from agency work to PrimeCarers tell us they value being in charge of their diary while still getting regular referrals across Caerphilly and further afield.
Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload references and DBS (or request help), and choose the types of placements you’ll accept. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you can start reviewing client leads straight away.
If you want to keep doing the care you love but on your terms, living and working in Tafarnaubach could be a good fit. Join PrimeCarers to set your rates, pick clients and keep control of your work-life balance while we take care of the rest.
