Live-in Carer Jobs in Bedford

Looking for live-in carer work in Bedford where you can be trusted to do what you do best? Live-in care means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and offering companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll be self-employed, set your own hours and choose the placements that suit you. Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles usually suit experienced carers who value continuity of care and want to build strong relationships with the people they support. In Bedford and across Bedfordshire you’ll help with personal care, medication support where agreed, mealtimes, mobility assistance and companionship — all adapted to each household’s routine. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many of our opportunities are within reach of Kempston, Wixams, Sandy, Ampthill, Shefford and Biggleswade.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, and typical figures sit around £145–£160 per day. For more granular planning you may find the hourly care range useful: £18.80–£20 per hour, and the live-in day range: £145–£160 per day. You decide which clients, hours and service area you’ll work in, and you can accept only the placements that fit your life.

PrimeCarers handles the practical stuff so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. We also support carers through the checks needed to join. If you’re moving away from agency employment, PrimeCarers is set up to make the transition straightforward while keeping your independence as a self-employed carer.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one. We do check references and ID as part of our verification to keep clients and carers safe.
