Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Dunston

Live-in care in Dunston means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Carers travel from across the country for placements like these, staying with someone to provide personal care, companionship, medication prompts and help with evening and night routines. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own working pattern and decide which placements you want to take.

Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency rounds offer. You choose your clients, your hours and your service area, and you set your own rates — many carers list within £145–£160 per day depending on the support required. Live-in care is different from day shifts: it is continuous presence with agreed rest and paid break arrangements. You may also see opportunities listed with typical hourly details like £18.10–£21.30 per hour and day rates shown as £145–£160 per day so you can compare what fits your needs.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the practical side: we manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included for the time you work through the platform. To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do a quick verification so profiles typically go live within days once your documents are checked.

Many carers who move to live-in work from Dunston, Lincolnshire and nearby towns like Bracebridge, North Hykeham, Lincoln, Wragby, Coningsby and Sleaford find the deeper relationships and predictable routines a better fit than split shifts. Live-in placements do involve travel to the client’s home, agreed periods of wakeful duties and protected rest breaks. You remain self-employed: that means you control which placements you accept and can plan time off between bookings.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll guide you through verification. This page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Dunston and the surrounding area, not a single role. If you’re ready for steadier, more meaningful work while keeping independence over rates and hours, set up your profile and start seeing matches within days.
