Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Arlesey

Looking for live-in care roles in Arlesey that give you control over your working life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Arlesey and the wider Bedfordshire area. Live-in care means you’ll live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for these placements and choose them for the deeper relationships and continuity of care they allow.

Right now, 118 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a PrimeCarers live-in care assistant you set your own terms. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, choosing who they work with, their hours and their service area. Typical pay is £145–£160 per day depending on needs and experience, with clearer hourly and day ranges available as you discuss individual roles: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

This kind of work suits carers who want more autonomy than agency life often allows. You’ll be supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance and companionship, and you’ll organise routines that fit a client’s preferences. Live-in placements need patience, good observation and a respectful approach to someone’s home and privacy. If you’ve done at least a year of professional care work, you’ll already have the experience families look for.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means fewer forms, no complicated payroll, and clear, timely payments for the shifts you accept. Many carers who move from agency work appreciate this combination of freedom and administrative support.

To join you’ll 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. You’ll also need to be comfortable with the responsibilities of living in someone else’s home and discussing boundaries and agreed breaks before a placement begins.

Arlesey-based roles often come from families looking for reliable, experienced live-in carers, including enquiries from nearby areas such as Stotfold, Letchworth, Shefford, Baldock, Hitchin and Biggleswade. Applying takes minutes: build a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can browse and accept live-in opportunities that suit you.
