Live-in Carer Jobs in Bedlington

Live-in care with PrimeCarers means living in with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. These ongoing self-employed roles suit experienced carers who want more control over who they work with, where they work and the hours they accept. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many find placements close to home in and around Bedlington. Right now, 24 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work involves: you’ll provide personal care, companionship, medication support and help with meals and routines within a client’s home. Live-in shifts are full-day responsibilities with planned rest periods — you are not expected to be on duty every minute. PrimeCarers supports matching so you can pick clients whose needs and routines suit your skills and preferences.

Pay and flexibility: you are self-employed and set your own rates. Typical pay for roles like this sits around £145–£160 per day depending on experience and the support needed. For hourly care and live-in day comparisons, PrimeCarers lists typical ranges: £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and you can accept stays in Bedlington or nearby towns such as West Bedlington, Cramlington, Blyth, Ashington, Morpeth and Newbiggin by the Sea.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want to leave agency constraints, take longer placements, and build closer relationships with the people they support. Live-in work requires patience, good communication and the ability to manage a household routine alongside care tasks. Many carers who join PrimeCarers already have at least one year of professional care experience and find the continuity of live-in work rewarding in both practical and personal ways.

What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working a placement. That administrative support lets you focus on care and on choosing placements that fit your life.

Join requirements and how to apply: to register you’ll need a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re already comfortable with live-in duties and want more control over your work, creating a profile is the first step towards live-in roles across Bedlington and elsewhere in Northumberland.
