Description

Live-in roles in Clackwell suit experienced carers who want to live alongside a client in their home, supporting daily routines and providing companionship and practical help through the day and night. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose the clients and hours that work for them. Right now, 34 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care means you share a home with a client and support personal care, medication prompts, meals, mobility and household tasks as agreed. You’ll take regular, agreed breaks and remain on-call only when required. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Clackwell and wider Cumbria; if you like building strong relationships and having continuity, this style of work can be very rewarding. Typical rates for work found through PrimeCarers are £144.50–£160 per day and you decide how you want to use your time and which clients to accept.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care: we find matching clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. You remain self-employed, set your own hours and pick your service area. Many carers who are thinking about leaving agency life value the freedom to choose, the clearer paperwork and the ability to set their own rates.

Requirements to join:

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

Applying takes minutes: create a simple profile, upload your references and any certificates, and we’ll verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families can contact you directly. You remain in control — choose the clients you accept and arrange the practical details for any live-in placement. If you’re based near towns such as Bowness on Windermere, Windermere, Staveley, Ambleside, Kendal and Milnthorpe, or willing to travel to Clackwell, you could find ongoing, self-employed live-in opportunities that fit your life and experience.
