Description

Live-in care roles in Burford put you at the heart of daily life for someone who wants to remain at home. You’ll live with a client in their home, supporting routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and the role particularly suits experienced, flexible carers who value continuity of care and building strong relationships. Right now, 110 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose your clients, hours and service area and set your own rates. Typical pay information is shown on the platform as £145–£160 per day for care roles; live-in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day and daytime/evening hourly care as £19–£22.80 per hour. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for the work you accept and includes insurance while you are working on a placement.

This kind of role suits carers who want more control than agency work gives. You’ll be living in the home, supporting meals, medication prompts, mobility assistance, personal care and companionship, and you’ll be expected to take agreed rest breaks each day. Many carers who join PrimeCarers from across the UK appreciate the deeper relationships and predictability that live-in placements can offer.

  • Who we’re looking for: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
  • Where you’ll work: roles are based in Burford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area, with opportunities near Carterton, Witney, Bampton, Lechlade, Charlbury and Northleach and beyond — you decide how far you’ll travel for a placement.
  • Flexibility: choose shifts and clients that fit your life. Live-in carers agree daily rest periods and manage their own time within the placement’s needs.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload a couple of documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers then matches you to families seeking self-employed live-in carers; you see client details and decide which matches to accept.

If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and want to be more in control of your work, living and building a relationship with a client in Burford could suit you. We’ll support the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care.
