Description
Live-in care in Crosby is for experienced carers who want to support someone day and night while living in their home. You’ll help with daily routines, personal care, meals, medication prompts and companionship — with agreed, legal breaks during the placement. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day. Right now, 40 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a live-in carer you provide continuity of care: morning and evening routines, medication reminders, mobility support and a steady presence overnight. Duties vary by client and are agreed before you accept a placement. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in work because it offers deeper relationships and predictable blocks of time in one household.
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You choose your own clients, hours and service area, so you can shape work around your life. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.
Who this suits
- Someone with at least one year of professional care experience and confidence in live-in routines.
- A carer who prefers being self-employed and setting their own terms rather than fixed rota work.
- Someone comfortable working in a client’s home and building long-term relationships.
What you’ll need to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed.
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
