Live-in Carer Jobs in Bradford

Live-in care in Bradford means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers who join PrimeCarers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay with families for weeks or months as required. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer, you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Right now, 42 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This role suits experienced carers who value continuity, close relationships and the chance to really get to know one person’s needs. Live-in shifts are about practical help and companionship: supporting personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility assistance and household tasks that make day-to-day life easier and safer. You’ll be part of routines rather than short visits, and you’ll have agreed breaks so you can rest and recharge.

Pay and flexibility are designed around the self-employed model. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically fall within £145–£160 per day depending on the client’s needs and the placement. You also choose where you’ll work — whether you prefer central Bradford, nearby suburbs or towns such as Clayton, Shipley, Pudsey, Thornton, Farsley and Queensbury. PrimeCarers handles client finding, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who can provide verifiable references and have the right to work in the UK. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check; if you don’t have one already PrimeCarers can help arrange it. We expect people who are reliable, compassionate and used to working independently in clients’ homes.

Joining is straightforward. Create a profile (it takes minutes), add your experience and references, and complete the checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and once live you can review client enquiries and accept the live-in placements that suit you. Many carers switching from agency work appreciate the control over rates and the closer relationships they build in live-in roles across Bradford and wider West Yorkshire.

If you want a role where you’re trusted to provide continuity of care, where your hours and pay are in your hands, and where paperwork and payments are handled for you, PrimeCarers makes it practical to move into live-in work. Apply now — the profile process is quick, and our team will support you through checks and setup so you can start considering live-in placements soon.
