Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Heckmondwike

If you’re an experienced carer based near Heckmondwike and thinking about leaving agency work, live-in care through PrimeCarers could give you the control you want without the paperwork. Live-in roles mean you stay in the client’s home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for placements in Heckmondwike and surrounding towns in West Yorkshire. Right now, 43 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and decide when you’re available. Typical pay sits around £148–£160 per day, with live-in work usually quoted as £148–£160 per day for a day and day-to-day care often in the range £18.80–£20 per hour per hour — you choose what fits you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working on a placement.

Live-in care in Heckmondwike is about steady, relationship-based support. Tasks usually include personal care, medication prompts, help with meals, keeping routines comfortable and safe, companionship and light household tasks. You’ll live at the client’s address, so you’ll need to work with agreed rest breaks and time off. This role suits carers who prefer consistent, longer-term support and want to build close working relationships with people in their own homes.

We look for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. If you already have your DBS and references, great — if not, we’ll guide you through the steps. Profiles take minutes to create and typically go live within days of verification. You can accept placements in Heckmondwike, travel for opportunities, or cover nearby areas such as Batley, Cleckheaton, Dewsbury, Mirfield, Morley and Ossett.
