Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Cheltenham

Live-in care in Cheltenham means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. This kind of work suits experienced carers who want continuity of care, close relationships and predictable days rather than shift-hopping. Right now, 124 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Cheltenham and the wider Gloucestershire area. You choose the clients you’ll work with, where you will travel from and the hours you offer. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many find the steadier rhythm of a live-in role suits both their professional skills and personal life.

Pay is flexible because you set your own rates — typical live-in rates fall in the range shown on our platform as £145–£160 per day. You control your hourly or daily charge, and you decide which jobs match your skills and availability. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed at all times.

Typical live-in duties include helping with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and supporting household routines. You’ll be the main point of contact for the client and their family, so good communication, compassion and experience with complex needs are important. These roles are ideal if you value continuity and want the chance to build real relationships with clients across Cheltenham and nearby towns such as Winchcombe, Greet, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Painswick and Northleach.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for documentation during verification so profiles can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities for carers, not a single job. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work for more control over who you support, where you work and what you charge, PrimeCarers is built to make that step straightforward: create your profile, complete checks and start choosing the live-in roles that fit you. If you already work in or near Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire, this could be the simpler, more rewarding way to continue your care career.
