Live-in Carer Jobs in Falmouth

Live-in care in Falmouth gives experienced carers the chance to support someone’s daily life by living in their home, covering routines, companionship and round-the-clock support with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, staying close to local communities and forming strong matches that work long term. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single advertised role.

Right now, 10 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits skilled, flexible carers who want the stability of longer placements and the freedom to set their own terms. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay varies by arrangement; you’ll commonly see arrangements in the range £145–£166.50 per day, and we list typical ranges for hourly and day live-in care so you can compare: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£166.50 per day.

PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you concentrate on care, not admin. You remain self-employed throughout, so you decide which offers to accept and when to take breaks during live-in shifts. Carers often work in Falmouth and the surrounding communities including Penryn, St Mawes, Truro, Redruth, Helston and Camborne, and placements can suit those already local as well as carers prepared to travel.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aim to keep standards high: 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 check documents quickly so verified profiles typically go live within days.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, PrimeCarers is built for that shift. You’ll find roles where you can build relationships, work predictable live-in patterns and agree breaks with families. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload references and DBS details, and we’ll verify your information so you can start reviewing matching opportunities.

How it works in practice: you choose which clients to contact, negotiate the daily routine and agree terms directly through PrimeCarers with contracts and payments handled for you. With insurance included while you work, and support arranging checks, joining is straightforward and focused on helping experienced carers deliver great in‑home live‑in care across Falmouth and wider Cornwall.
