Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Boston

Live-in care in Boston means living with someone in their own home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, companionship, medication prompts, meals and household tasks, and you’ll work with families to agree boundaries and practical routines. Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, live-in work can suit experienced carers who want steadier days, deeper relationships and the flexibility to set their own terms. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Boston and beyond, including Coningsby, Holbeach, Spalding, Wainfleet, Spilsby and Long Sutton. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and remain for weeks or months at a time.

On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £146–£161 per day depending on the support required and location; for clarity, you’ll also see ranges for hourly care and full live-in days like £18.89–£22 per hour and £146–£161 per day when you create a profile. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help you arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We review profiles to keep the platform trustworthy, but the application itself takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. You remain fully self-employed: you choose placements that fit your life and leave when you wish.

Live-in placements are varied. Some clients need personal care throughout the day, others value companionship and help with routines, medication and meals. You’ll agree breaks and rest periods, and families usually organise shared time off or provide cover for agreed absences. If you prefer longer stays or block bookings, many families welcome that continuity.

Boston is a friendly place to work, with good connections across Lincolnshire and practical local routes to Revesby, Spalding and the surrounding towns. If you want to reduce travel between shifts, you control your service area and can prioritise opportunities near you. If you have questions about moving into live-in care from agency work, or how to set a competitive rate, PrimeCarers’ team can advise when you sign up.
