Description

Live-in care in Holbeach suits experienced carers who want to be trusted professionals, not shift-fillers. You’ll live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find the continuity and deeper relationships rewarding. Right now, 102 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area — whether you want to work close to Holbeach or travel to nearby towns such as Long Sutton, Spalding, Wisbech, Crowland, Boston and The Deepings. You set your own rates and our typical range for roles like this is £145–£160 per day; for reference the typical hourly and live-in ranges are £18.80–£21.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

This type of work suits carers who have been in care for at least a year and who value autonomy: if you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over clients and routine, live-in roles let you deliver consistent, person-centred support. You’ll provide personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship. Good communication with families, reliability and respect for a client’s home are essential.

To join we ask for:

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

Working as a self-employed live-in carer means you agree terms directly with each client, including agreed breaks and time off. PrimeCarers supports you with clear contracts and secure payments so you can focus on care. Many carers who leave agency work appreciate the stability of live-in placements in Lincolnshire while keeping the freedom to set their own hours and fees.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you want steady, meaningful live-in work in Holbeach and beyond, join PrimeCarers to choose the clients and lifestyle that suit you.
