Description
Live-in care assistant roles in Talgarth offer experienced carers a chance to work closely with one person in their own home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship. These placements are based in and around Talgarth, covering rural pockets of Powys and nearby towns such as Llangors, Hay on Wye, Brecon, Crickhowell, Builth Wells and Brynmawr.
Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
What live-in means here: you live with a client in their home, provide support around the clock with agreed breaks, and help maintain a safe, comfortable routine. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so many come to Talgarth for short- or long-term stays. You remain self-employed and set your own rates; typical pay sits around £145.50–£161 per day depending on the care required and the family’s needs. For clarity, day and hourly ranges are available: £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145.50–£161 per day for live-in days.
This kind of role suits experienced, reliable carers who prefer a closer relationship with one client and the stability of living on-site. It’s a good fit if you’re used to providing personal care, medication prompts, meal support, mobility assistance and companionship through evenings and nights. Many carers who leave agency rotas find they prefer setting their own hours and choosing clients directly via PrimeCarers.
PrimeCarers supports you as a self-employed carer: you choose clients, hours and the geographic area you’ll cover, while we find you suitable families and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a placement through the platform, and that paperwork is taken care of so you can focus on care.
To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do verify documents and references carefully so families can trust the carers they invite into their homes.
Applying takes minutes — create your profile, upload IDs and references, and complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start browsing live-in opportunities around Talgarth and across Powys. If you want control over your work, clearer terms and a direct relationship with families, a live-in role through PrimeCarers could be the change you’re looking for.
