Description
Live-in care in Ashton Hurst means you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks.

Right now, 59 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform connecting self-employed carers directly with families in Ashton Hurst and surrounding areas. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working. Live-in roles typically pay within £145–£160 per day per day and hourly support roles fall within £18.50–£20 per hour.

What the work involves: you’ll be living in the client’s home to provide personal care, help with medication prompts, support mobility, prepare meals, and keep companionship and household routines running. Shifts vary because families’ needs differ; some placements are focused on personal care and overnight support, others are more about companionship through the day. All live-in arrangements include agreed breaks and rest time so you can manage a sustainable routine.
Who this suits: experienced carers who value autonomy and want to move away from agency rotas. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, a right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references, you’re eligible to join.

How PrimeCarers helps: we introduce you to families, manage the paperwork and take care of invoicing and payments so you can focus on caring. Insurance is included while you work on placements found through the platform. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
