Description

Looking for live‑in care work based in and around Usk? PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families who need someone to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and find the variety and responsibility far more rewarding than shift work. Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live‑in care in Usk and the wider Monmouthshire area is about companionship, practical help and consistent support. As a live‑in care assistant you’ll be part of someone’s daily life: helping with personal care, mealtimes, medication prompts, mobility, and keeping the household running. Nights and up‑close supervision can be part of the role, but you’ll have agreed breaks and time off as set with each family. Carers travel here for placements from both nearby towns and further afield; teams regularly cover Cwmbran, Abergavenny, Abertillery, Caldicot, Chepstow and Monmouth and beyond.

This work suits experienced carers who want independence and respect for their hours and skills. On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day, with separate guidance for hourly care (£18.50–£22 per hour) and live‑in day rates (£145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

We’re looking for people with at least one year of professional care experience who want to move away from agency constraints and take more control over their work. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already live in Usk or nearby, or if you’re prepared to travel for a placement, your experience will be highly valued; live‑in roles often attract carers from across the UK who enjoy longer placements and deeper relationships with the people they support.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, tell us about your experience, upload references and DBS details, and we’ll verify everything — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and choose which matches suit you; PrimeCarers then helps with the contract and payment arrangements so you start on clear terms.

If you want more control, clearer pay and the chance to focus on one household at a time in Usk or elsewhere in Monmouthshire, getting started with PrimeCarers is straightforward. Build a profile, choose the live‑in opportunities that fit your life, and be ready to travel for placements that interest you.
