Description

Live-in care means moving into a client's home to support their daily routines and wellbeing around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. As a live-in carer you’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal routines, mobilisation, companionship and household support — all delivered in the client's own home in Buntingford and surrounding areas. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and bring the calm, practical experience that families in Buntingford value. Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This platform is built for carers who value independence. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can accept live-in roles that suit your lifestyle. Typical rates for roles you’ll see are £145–£160 per day; for comparison you may also see listings expressed as £18.80–£21.20 per hour for hourly work or £145–£160 per day for a live-in day. You decide what to charge and which bookings to accept.
