Description
Live-in care in Tenbury Wells means you live alongside the person you support in their own home, helping with daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role, and carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who want closer relationships with the people they support and more control than agency life often allows. In Tenbury Wells you’ll work in familiar neighbourhoods and rural settings across Shropshire, sometimes travelling from nearby towns such as Ludlow, Cleobury Mortimer, Leominster, Bromyard, Bewdley and Craven Arms. The role asks for patience, good practical skills and the confidence to work independently while remaining in regular contact with families and PrimeCarers.
