Description
Looking for live-in care work around Fulbourn? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families needing round-the-clock support in their own homes.

Right now, 100 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in placements around Fulbourn and across Cambridgeshire suit carers who want reliable, longer-term work and more control over their day-to-day. Many carers travel from other parts of the country for live-in roles and find the continuity of care rewarding.

This opportunity is for self-employed carers who set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit them. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain in charge of your diary and can accept or decline introductions. If you’re coming to Fulbourn from nearby places such as Cambridge, Newmarket, Northstowe, Saffron Walden, Haverhill and Soham, you’ll find a steady demand for experienced live-in carers.
Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want to step away from agency rota work and build their own client list. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies these quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days.
What a typical live-in shift looks like varies with each household and the agreed plan — from supporting morning routines and medication to overnight checks and companionship. You’ll discuss breaks and responsibilities with the family before any placement goes ahead. PrimeCarers supports carers with clear contracts, prompt payment and basic insurance for the time you are working in a household.
