Description
Looking for reliable, ongoing live‑in care work around Coombe? PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families who need someone to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Live‑in placements bring continuity of care — you’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household tasks as agreed with each family. Right now, 112 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live‑in roles suit carers who prefer deep relationships over shift hopping: you’ll be part of the household day to day, often working alongside family members and other visiting professionals. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and often stay for weeks or months at a time. You decide how far you’ll travel and how long you’ll commit to a placement.
PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want freedom and clarity. You are self‑employed and set your own rate, choose your clients, hours and service area. We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work. Typical pay ranges are flexible to reflect skill and location: £145–£160 per day. Many carers list both an hourly and a live‑in day rate on their profile (see £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day for the usual ranges).
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify everything quickly so you can start choosing placements. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
How it works in practice:
- Live‑in duties: support with personal care, continence, mobility assistance, meals, medication reminders and being a consistent, compassionate presence.
- Working pattern: you live with the client and agree daily on the hours that count as rest and paid time. Breaks are agreed in the contract.
- Flexibility: accept short or long placements, travel from elsewhere in the UK, and decide your own travel limits.
