Description

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rota life, PrimeCarers connects self-employed live-in carers with families across Earl Shilton and nearby areas. You’ll live in a client’s home, support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and agree terms that suit you. Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work suits carers who want continuity of care and the chance to build strong relationships. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements; others already based in Leicestershire choose local roles that cut commuting. You set your own rates and working pattern as a self-employed carer — typical pay varies depending on the family and the level of care, with common ranges shown here: £145–£160 per day. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform: you choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. We find families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means less paperwork for you and more time caring. We don’t advertise a single placement on this page — it’s an ongoing stream of opportunities around Earl Shilton and towns such as Hinckley, Market Bosworth, Braunstone Town, Nuneaton, Camp Hill and Wigston Magna.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience and prefer the stability and rapport of live-in work, this could be a good step. Live-in shifts involve assisting with personal care, medication prompts, household tasks relevant to wellbeing, meal support and companionship — always within boundaries agreed with the family and recorded in the contract. Carers live with the client in their home and have agreed breaks across the day and night.

Joining is straightforward. You need an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies profiles so families can book with confidence. Applying only takes minutes; most profiles go live within days of verification, and then you can start reviewing client enquiries and choosing what fits your life.

What we won’t do is promise specific shifts or incomes — every placement is different and you remain self-employed, setting your own terms. If you want a clearer picture of live-in roles in Earl Shilton, create a profile and see the enquiries families post. Many carers who left agency rotas find that living with a client brings professional satisfaction and predictable routines. Ready to explore live-in care in Earl Shilton?
