Description
Live-in care in Welwyn Garden City offers experienced carers the chance to support someone full time in their own home while keeping control over how you work. You’ll live with a client, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel to Welwyn Garden City from across the country for live-in placements, and roles often include work across the surrounding area.
Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits skilled, sympathetic carers who want continuity and deeper relationships than shift-based visiting roles allow. You’ll help with everyday tasks, medication prompts, mobility support and household routines, and you’ll be the stable presence that makes a real difference to someone’s life in Welwyn Garden City. Live-in placements can be varied: some clients need overnight checks, others need hands-on personal care during the day. Carers typically set their own approach with the client when agreeing duties and breaks.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families but doesn’t place you into a fixed contract with an employer. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day; more specific ranges for hourly care and live-in days are listed as £18.80–£21 per hour and £145–£160 per day so you can price your time fairly. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working on a placement.
We welcome carers with at least one year of professional care experience who have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), and verifiable references. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over when and where you work, live-in care through PrimeCarers can be a good next step. You’ll be self-employed, so you manage your own tax and the practical side of running your work.
