Live-in Carer Jobs in Wales

Live-in care in Wales is for experienced carers who want to provide continuous, home-based support while keeping control of their working life. As a live-in carer you’ll live with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines and being on hand around the clock with agreed breaks. Placements come from towns across the region, including Llanwrtyd Wells, Tregaron, Llandovery, Lampeter, Builth Wells and Rhayader and further afield when carers travel for live-in work.
Right now, 64 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits people who value close, consistent relationships with the people they support and who prefer longer placements to frequent shift changes. You set your own hours and service area, choose the clients you want to work with, and set your own rates — many carers list rates in the range £145–£160 per day. Live-in days and hourly care can vary by need; you’ll see typical ranges when you view each opportunity.

PrimeCarers makes the practical side straightforward: we find clients, handle contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. Being self-employed gives you the flexibility agency contracts rarely offer while still having the security of contracts and covered insurance during placements.

Requirements

• At least one year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• The ability to travel for live-in placements; many carers come from other parts of Wales and the UK for the right match.

Applying takes just minutes. Create your profile, upload references and DBS details, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then be able to review client requests, ask questions, and accept placements that suit you. We do not post single job adverts here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Wales and in Ceredigion.

If you’re ready to move away from shift-led agency work and want longer placements, clearer contracts and control over your rates and hours, PrimeCarers could be the next step. Profiles often go live within days of verification, and many carers who join us travel to placements around Wales — from rural Ceredigion to larger towns and beyond.
