Description
PrimeCarers has ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities in Cowley for experienced carers who prefer to work independently. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and many carers travel from across the country for these placements. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in shifts suit carers who want continuity of care and the chance to build strong relationships with one person or couple. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime support, companionship and household tasks as agreed with the family. Placements in and around Cowley also cover nearby parts of Oxfordshire and can include shorter daytime support if that’s arranged with the client.
Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical ranges are shown to help you decide what to charge. Many live-in roles advertise within £145.50–£161 per day as a day rate, while hourly care often falls in £19.20–£22.50 per hour. Overall you can expect typical listings around £145.50–£161 per day depending on the client’s needs and your experience.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You choose your own clients, hours and service area, whether you want to stay local to Cowley or travel to placements further afield such as Oxford, Abingdon, Didcot, Thame, Wallingford and Woodstock. That means more control over the work you accept and when you take breaks or time off.
To join you need 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’ll walk you through verification — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
