Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Blackpool

Work as a self-employed live-in carer in Blackpool and support people in their own homes while enjoying the freedom to choose who you work with and how you work. Live-in roles mean you’ll live in the client’s home, helping with daily routines, personal care, meals and companionship, and covering agreed rest breaks and sleep patterns as part of the arrangement.

Right now, 36 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements often suit experienced carers who want continuity of care and deeper relationships. Many carers travel from across the country for these roles and you’d be expected to live at the address for the agreed period while maintaining professional boundaries and following an agreed care plan. You’ll have time to rest during agreed breaks and the client’s routine sets the daily rhythm of the placement.

Pay is set by you — PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who set their own rates. Typical ranges are shown to help you decide what to charge: £145–£160 per day, with daytime and hourly guidance like £19–£21.30 per hour and live-in day guidance like £145–£160 per day. Because you’re self-employed you invoice through PrimeCarers; we handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.

This is an ongoing opportunity stream for carers across Blackpool, the Fylde and Lancashire who want to move away from shift-based agency models and take more control over work, time and pay. You choose clients, hours and the area you’ll cover — many carers pick placements around Blackpool and neighbouring towns such as Poulton le Fylde, Thornton Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes, Cleveleys, Medlar with Wesham and Wesham.

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. If you don’t yet have an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help you arrange one. We also include insurance while you’re working on a placement and provide contract support.

Applying takes minutes: build your profile, upload your references and DBS, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers then introduces you to families looking for live-in support; you choose which introductions to accept. This is not one specific role but an ongoing stream of self-employed live-in opportunities in Blackpool and across Lancashire.
