Many live-in carers travel from across the country to take up placements in Barrow in Furness and throughout Cumbria. A live-in role typically involves helping with washing, dressing, medication reminders, meal preparation, companionship and supporting mobility, plus household checks and light domestic tasks as agreed with the family. You will sleep at the address but have regular, agreed rest breaks and time away as part of your contract.

This is a self-employed opportunity: you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept and decide the hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day and you can adjust rates to reflect experience, qualifications and travel. Carers often cover Barrow and nearby towns such as Dalton in Furness, Millom, Ulverston, Broughton in Furness, Grange over Sands and Morecambe when they choose their service area.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles the practical admin: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, with insurance included while you work. We also make it straightforward to manage bookings and get paid without an agency tying you to rotas. That makes it easier to focus on providing consistent, high-quality care in a way that fits your life.

To join you’ll need at least one year of recent professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t list one-off shifts here — these are ongoing live-in opportunities for experienced carers who want reliable, home-based placements in Barrow in Furness and across Cumbria.

Applying takes minutes and your profile usually goes live within days of verification. Once live, you can review family requests, agree terms directly with the client and start when you’re ready. If you want more detail or help with DBS or references, our team is available to guide you through the checks and profile setup.
