Live-in Carer Jobs in Brentwood

Live-in care in Brentwood means living alongside a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You’ll help with personal care, companionship, medication prompts, meal routines and staying safe and comfortable in the home — a role that suits experienced, compassionate carers who prefer continuity of care and deeper relationships over shift work.

Right now, 113 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Brentwood and nearby areas including Harold Park, Noak Hill, Harold Wood, Harold Hill, Cranham and Gallows Corner. You choose the clients you want to work with, set your own rates and decide the hours and service area that suit you. Many carers who join PrimeCarers move away from agency constraints and find the control and predictability of live-in placements more rewarding. Typical pay sits in the range £145–£160 per day depending on the client's needs, your experience and the arrangements you agree. You can also expect to see roles paid in both hourly and live-in day formats shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. You remain self-employed at all times, so you manage your working pattern and tax responsibilities yourself. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so location flexibility can open more opportunities within Brentwood and wider Essex.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have these in hand, applying really does take minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re looking for reliable, respectful people who value clear agreements and consistent care. If you want the freedom to set your rates, pick the clients who fit your skills and work patterns, and leave invoicing and contracts to us, PrimeCarers offers ongoing self-employed opportunities in Brentwood and the surrounding Essex towns.
