Description

Live-in care in Brighouse means moving into a client's home and supporting daily life around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Placements often attract carers from across the country who travel in for blocks of care and stay on-site while supporting daily routines. Right now, 46 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, practical carers who value continuity of care and want to build stronger relationships than shift-based roles allow. In Brighouse you'll support everyday tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, mealtime assistance, mobility support and companionship. Living with one person or a couple gives you time to learn preferences, routines and small details that make a big difference to wellbeing.

Because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, you set your own rates and choose which clients to accept. Typical rates for live-in work fall in the range £145–£160 per day, with more detailed £18.50–£19.80 per hour for hourly support and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates depending on the level of need. PrimeCarers lists typical ranges so families and carers can negotiate openly; nothing here is a promise of earnings, only transparent information to help you decide.

Requirements to join:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references from recent care roles.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
