Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Hayle

Live-in care in Hayle means living in with a client and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for placements in and around Hayle, bringing companionship, personal care and practical help to people who prefer to stay at home.
Right now, 10 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want freedom from agency rotas and want to run their own hours and relationships. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose who you work with. Typical assignments offer flexibility; carers often balance live-in placements with occasional day work in nearby towns such as St Ives, Marazion, Camborne, Penzance, Newlyn and Porthleven. Typical pay sits around £150–£170 per day for care work — you decide what to charge within that market.

Live-in care duties usually include personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, supporting daily routines, light household tasks and being a steady presence. You’ll be expected to work agreed patterns of on‑duty time and breaks, and to maintain clear records and communication with families and PrimeCarers. Placements vary: some need more hands‑on support, others benefit most from companionship and routine maintenance.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care. We match you with families, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. You remain self-employed: you choose clients, hours and your service area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who we’re looking for

• 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.
• Trustworthiness, good communication and a respectful approach to people’s homes and routines.
