Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Haverhill

Live-in care in Haverhill puts you at the heart of someone’s day-to-day life: you’ll live in the client’s home, support routines around the clock and take agreed breaks. Placements attract carers who travel from across the country and who want continuity of care rather than shift-by-shift handovers. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for these roles sits around £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges usually shown as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day so you can compare living-in work with other options. If you’re leaving agency work to gain more control over your working life, live-in roles can offer deeper relationships and more predictable routines — especially across Haverhill and neighbouring parts of Suffolk.

PrimeCarers finds clients and looks after the paperwork so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work on a placement. Many carers value that administrative burden lifted, because it makes it straightforward to manage travel, rota and agreed breaks when living with someone.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want continuity and responsibility: people who can support bathing, medication prompts, mealtime assistance, mobility help and companionship, while respecting a client’s home. Carers travel to placements from across the country, so you’ll need flexibility for occasional travel and the stamina for live-in shifts.

Minimum requirements

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Many carers on PrimeCarers work around Haverhill and nearby towns such as Clare, Saffron Walden, Thaxted, Newmarket, Fulbourn and Sudbury — you choose how far you’ll travel and which clients to accept. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you want to move away from agency rotas, keep clinical autonomy and build lasting relationships in Suffolk, live-in care through PrimeCarers could be a good next step.

Interested? Create a profile, upload your documents and tell us the kind of live-in placements you want. We’ll support verification and then you can review client matches, agree terms directly and start placements when you’re ready.
