Live-in Carer Jobs in Blackburn

Live-in care in Blackburn is for experienced carers who want predictable, meaningful work supporting someone in their own home. You’ll live with a client, help with daily routines, personal care and companionship, and provide support around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you can choose assignments that suit your experience and lifestyle. Right now, 40 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific placement. As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the area you’ll cover. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on the needs of the person and the length of the placement. Live-in roles often use a daily rate; you can compare typical live-in day ranges like £145–£160 per day alongside hourly care at £18.50–£20 per hour when you discuss a match.

What you’ll do day to day:

• Live in the client’s home and support daily routines, meals and personal care.
• Provide companionship, medication prompts and mobility support where needed.
• Work with families and health professionals to follow care plans and agreed routines.
• Take agreed breaks; travel to and from Blackburn or neighbouring towns when required.

This work suits carers who want more control than agency life: experienced, reliable people who value continuity and relationships. You might already be working in care in Blackburn, Blackburn with Darwen or nearby — such as Oswaldtwistle, Darwen, Great Harwood, Clayton le Moors, Accrington and Longridge — or be willing to travel in for longer placements.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. Because you’re self-employed you keep control over your diary and rates, but you’ll still have practical back-up when needed.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families around Blackburn with Darwen quickly.
