Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Diss

Ready to take control of your live-in care career in Diss and the surrounding area? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families looking for reliable, compassionate live-in support. Live-in care means you’ll be living with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and many carers travel from across the country for placements in Diss and nearby towns.
Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work looks like: you’ll support personal care, medication prompts, mealtime assistance, companionship and household routines tailored to each client. Live-in roles are varied — some clients need hands-on support, others benefit most from a steady, experienced presence who can keep days structured and safe. Placements are often near Diss, with opportunities across Norfolk and the surrounding market towns including Eye, Redenhall with Harleston, Attleborough, Wymondham, Stowmarket and Framlingham.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for live-in roles varies — you will usually see ranges such as £19–£23.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day per day for live-in arrangements, with £145–£160 per day commonly quoted for this kind of work. You decide what you charge and which offers you accept.

Why carers switch from agencies: many experienced carers move to self-employed live-in work for clearer flexibility and closer relationships with families. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care — we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. This removes much of the paperwork and lets you keep more control of your work-life balance.

Who we’re looking for: if you have at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it) and verifiable references, you’re ready to apply. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a profile, upload your references and DBS details (or request help), and tell families a little about your experience and the live-in roles you’re interested in. You choose which enquiries to accept and when to travel for placements.
