Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Cotgrave and across Nottinghamshire who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care, medication prompts and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and arrange to stay for the length the client needs. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single post, and you remain in control of which placements you accept.

Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers list within £19–£20.80 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160.50 per day for live-in days, with typical listings showing £145–£160.50 per day depending on needs and experience. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Live-in work in Cotgrave suits experienced, reliable professionals who want deeper, one-to-one relationships with people at home. You’ll support daily routines, meal preparation, mobility assistance, personal care and social support, plus night checks or waking nights if agreed. This role is for carers who have a calm, flexible approach and the stamina to manage a household role alongside caring duties.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t ask you to hand over your independence — you remain self-employed and free to choose the placements that suit your life.
