Live-in Carer Jobs in Hartlepool

Live-in care in Hartlepool means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose which clients to work with, set your own rates, and decide your hours and service area. Many live-in carers travel from across the country for placements.

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

This work suits experienced, dependable carers who value continuity, companionship and the chance to make a real difference every day. Typical pay varies by client and needs — many carers set rates in line with local expectations and experience. You’ll see £145–£160 per day reflected on profiles so you can compare and set the rates that work for you.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we find clients, manage contracts, invoice and handle payments on your behalf, and provide insurance while you work. That means more time focused on care, not paperwork. Live-in placements are available around Hartlepool and across County Durham, and often in nearby towns such as Billingham, Peterlee, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Eston and Stockton on Tees.

Requirements to join are simple and clear: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help you arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We ask for these so families can book with confidence — and so you can demonstrate the skills and reliability you already have.

Rates are self-determined and reflect the flexibility and responsibility of live-in work. Typical hourly care rates appear as £18.80–£20 per hour, while live-in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day. As self-employed carers you control how much you take on and when.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Families browse and contact carers directly, and you decide which requests to accept. If you’re based in Hartlepool or willing to travel here, PrimeCarers can connect you with long-term, meaningful placements across Hartlepool and County Durham.
