Live-in Carer Jobs in Felixstowe

PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families in Felixstowe who need live-in support. Live-in care means you stay in a client’s home to support daily routines and keep them safe and comfortable around the clock, with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and can choose the arrangements that suit them.

Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles in and around Felixstowe often include help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship. You’ll work closely with a family to agree routines and boundaries, and you’ll have defined rest and break periods as part of every placement. Many carers find this work deeply rewarding because it builds continuity of care and real relationships.

This is a self-employed route: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for roles like these falls within £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges varying by family and needs (see £18.89–£21.90 per hour and £145–£160 per day for typical figures). PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency work — to pick the people they support, manage their diary and keep more of what they earn. You should have at least 1 year of professional care experience and the right to work in the UK. An Enhanced DBS is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and we ask for verifiable references before profiles go live. You don’t need to live in Felixstowe to apply — carers regularly travel from nearby towns such as Harwich, Parkeston, Dovercourt, Kesgrave, Walton on the Naze and Woodbridge and beyond for placements.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers then introduces you to families who match your preferences and you choose which enquiries to accept.

If you’re based in Suffolk or considering moving to the area, live-in roles in Felixstowe offer a way to work independently while being supported by simple contracts and secure payments. If you want honest flexible work, with meaningful continuity of care and the freedom to set your terms, this could be the next step in your career.
