Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Berwick upon Tweed who need compassionate, reliable live-in support. Live-in care means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Berwick upon Tweed and nearby areas. Right now, 13 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in roles suit professionals who value continuity of care and want to build strong relationships with the people they support. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and supporting mobility, as well as household tasks that are part of day-to-day life. Work can be varied from supporting someone with long-term health needs to helping a person regain confidence after an illness.
PrimeCarers is built for people who want to move away from traditional agency structures. You are self-employed, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates — many carers on the platform use £142–£160 per day as a guide when setting rates. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
To join you 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 this). We don’t advertise one specific placement on this page — instead we’re promoting ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland and surrounding towns such as Eyemouth, Coldstream, Duns, Wooler, Greenlaw and Kelso.
If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control, live-in care via PrimeCarers gives you that independence while keeping the admin simple. You’ll agree shift length and breaks with each client, and can accept or decline matches that don’t fit your needs or travel plans. Many carers who relocate to Berwick upon Tweed enjoy its coastal setting and quieter pace while still being well connected to the wider Northumberland community.
