Description

Live-in care with PrimeCarers means living alongside a client in their home in Bentham and helping with daily routines, companionship and personal care as agreed. You’ll work around the clock with agreed breaks, become a trusted presence in someone’s life and often cover household support too. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience and stability to families in and around Bentham.

Right now, 34 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These opportunities suit experienced, reliable carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts offer. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the right clients, hours and service area for you. Typical live-in working days are flexible and the pay reflects the responsibility involved — £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

What the role looks like day to day varies by household. Common tasks include personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, light household tasks and emotional support. You’ll help maintain routines, support mobility and provide company. Each placement has an agreed care plan and scheduled breaks so you can rest and recharge while living on-site.

PrimeCarers is set up for carers who want a straightforward, professional arrangement. To join you need at least one 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 keep the freedom of self-employment while PrimeCarers manages the paperwork and payments, so you can focus on caring.

If you’re based in Bentham or willing to travel, you’ll be joining a network that covers North Yorkshire and nearby communities such as Wennington, Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle, Carnforth, Lancaster and Milnthorpe.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. There are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single advertised post, so you can browse and choose assignments that suit your experience and availability.
