Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Craven Arms

Live-in care in Craven Arms means living in with a client and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements here, bringing continuity and companionship to people in their own homes. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you already have at least a year of professional care experience and are thinking about moving away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers offers ongoing self-employed opportunities where you stay in control. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and your service area, and you set your own rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

This work suits experienced carers who enjoy building a one-to-one relationship with a client, supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal routines, mobility assistance and companionship. Live-in roles require stamina, patience and respect for a client’s home life; many carers find the deeper continuity lets them provide better, more person-centred care than shift-only work.

Requirements to join include:

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

Pay and day rates vary by placement; typical ranges for live-in work are £146–£161 per day. Because you are self-employed you set your own price within that range and decide which offers to accept. Travel to Craven Arms and surrounding areas such as Church Stretton, Ludlow, Bishops Castle, Clun, Knighton and Tenbury Wells is common for live-in roles, and many carers find they can pick placements that suit their lifestyle and availability.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you accept a placement, PrimeCarers issues the contract and handles invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
