Description
Live-in care in Brierley gives experienced carers the chance to live with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines around the clock and taking agreed breaks. Placements suit people who want continuity of care, close one-to-one relationships and the flexibility to travel for longer stays. Right now, 70 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a live-in carer through PrimeCarers you’ll provide personal care, companionship, support with medication prompts, meal routines and mobility assistance where needed. Live-in work means being part of someone’s daily life: you’ll sleep in the home, be on hand for evening and night support as agreed, and take rest breaks laid out in your contract. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many choose stays that suit their own life and commitments.
This platform is for self-employed carers who want freedom. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service areas you’ll accept. Typical arrangements for pay are shown as £145–£160 per day in listings; you can also set your hourly fees within the £18.50–£20 per hour and discuss day rates in line with £145–£160 per day when a placement is agreed. PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you are working on a placement.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We don’t ask you to commit to any single client before you choose them — you remain self-employed and in control of the work you accept.
We connect carers across Brierley and the surrounding area, including nearby towns such as Hemsworth, South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, South Elmsall, Barnsley, Wombwell and Featherstone. Many carers moving on from agency work find the clarity of self-employed contracts, transparent pay and the ability to choose clients refreshing. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we prepare contracts, manage payments and provide insurance while you work.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your references and documents, then complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can invite you to discuss placements. If you’re an experienced carer in Brierley or elsewhere in South Yorkshire interested in consistent, meaningful live-in work with control over rates and hours, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started.
