Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Chatteris

Live-in care in Chatteris means being part of someone's daily life: living in their home, supporting routines around the clock with agreed breaks and companionship, and helping them remain independent where they feel safest. Right now, 118 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You choose your clients, hours and service area, set your own rates and decide which placements fit your life. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you’ll be asked to support personal care, medication prompts, mealtime preparation, mobility assistance and meaningful companionship tailored to each person’s routine. Live-in work in Chatteris often involves building close relationships and practical problem-solving day to day.

Typical pay is flexible and reflects the extra responsibility and availability required for live-in roles. You can expect work listed around £145–£160 per day for similar roles, but you set your own rate and negotiations are between you and the family.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, arrange contracts, invoice and process payments on your behalf, and provide insurance while you are working. That support is what lets many carers leave agency structures and keep the independence of self-employment.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this);
• The right to work in the UK;
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers will introduce you to families looking for live-in carers in and around Chatteris and neighbouring areas such as March, Ramsey, Ely, Whittlesey, Glebe Farm and Northstowe. We never advertise a single fixed post here — this page is for ongoing self-employed opportunities across Chatteris and nearby parts of Cambridgeshire.

If you’re tired of shift patterns you don’t control or want a clearer relationship with the people you support, this could be the change you’re looking for. Create a profile, add your experience and availability, and start seeing matches. Many carers tell us the best part is choosing clients who suit their skills and values, and being paid on terms they set.
