Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Egremont

Live-in care roles in Egremont put you at the heart of a household, supporting a person through daily routines while living in their home. You’ll be expected to provide personal care, companionship and assistance with day-to-day tasks, remaining on-site with agreed breaks and time off. Live-in placements often attract carers travelling from across the country, and many assignments cover nearby communities such as Orgill, Cleator Moor, Whitehaven, Workington, Cockermouth and Maryport in Cumbria.

Right now, 16 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who value continuity of care. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency rotas, live-in work in Egremont lets you build a close working relationship with a family, work predictable blocks of days and shape how you deliver support. Many carers report clearer routines and deeper satisfaction when they can focus on one household at a time.

Pay and flexibility are designed around self‑employment. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical local rates are £145–£160 per day; in practice you’ll see £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day per day for live-in work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can concentrate on care, not paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward but important: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We ask for evidence of your experience and references before your profile goes live, because families want to see trustworthy, skilled carers.

Live-in placements can involve travel to different parts of Cumbria and beyond. Some carers relocate temporarily to be with a client; others travel from their home town for a placement. If you’re flexible about travel and open to staying in someone’s home, live-in care can be a great fit.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and set your preferred rates and areas. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there you’ll be able to review matches and choose clients that suit your needs. PrimeCarers supports contract setup and handles payments so you’re paid for the hours and days you agree with a family.
