Description
Live-in care in Hemsworth puts you at the heart of someone’s home life — supporting routines, companionship and day‑to‑day needs while living with a client and taking agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, and PrimeCarers works with local families across Hemsworth and surrounding areas in West Yorkshire. Right now, 71 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the service area you cover. You set your own rates and working patterns — typical pay falls in the range £145–£160 per day — and PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you are working on a placement.
Live‑in work involves:
- Living in the client’s home and supporting daily routines, meals, personal care and social contact.
- Being available around the clock with agreed rest breaks and time off; every arrangement is set with the client before you start.
- Occasional travel for handovers or to placements — many carers come to Hemsworth from other towns and counties.
This kind of role suits carers who value continuity, strong relationships and a predictable home environment for the person they support. It also suits people who want to manage their own diary while keeping the stability of regular live‑in work.
To join PrimeCarers you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will verify your documents, list your profile and manage client invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and applying takes minutes.
We work with carers across Hemsworth and nearby towns such as South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, Brierley, South Elmsall, Featherstone, Pontefract and Normanton. If you’re ready to leave restrictive rotas, take control of your hours and offer steady, person‑centred live‑in support, PrimeCarers can connect you with families looking for experienced self‑employed carers.
