Description
Live-in care in Glebe Farm suits experienced carers who want to be the consistent, familiar face supporting someone in their own home. You would live with a client to help with daily routines, personal care, medication prompts and companionship — providing support around the clock with agreed breaks and rest periods. Live-in carers travel from across the country for placements, and many find the deeper relationships and continuity of care very rewarding.
Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Glebe Farm and surrounding Cambridgeshire communities. You set your own rates and choose clients, hours and your service area, so you keep control of how you work. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Typical earnings for these roles fall in £145–£160 per day depending on the hours and level of care required.
What the role involves:
- Living with a client: you’ll provide personal care, help with mobility and daily tasks, and offer companionship while respecting the household routines.
- Flexible patterns: days, nights and agreed breaks are part of live-in agreements — shifts vary by household and are set between you and the family.
- Travel: many carers come from outside the immediate area to take live-in placements in Glebe Farm and nearby towns such as Huntingdon, Godmanchester, Ramsey, Northstowe, Chatteris and St Neots.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who prefer working one-to-one and value continuity. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas and building longer-term relationships, live-in work in Glebe Farm could be a good fit. We support carers who want to balance independence with secure admin support.
