Live-in Carer Jobs in Hungerford

Live-in care means you live in a client's home, supporting daily routines and being there around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experienced, compassionate support to people who want to remain independent at home in Hungerford. You’ll work with one family at a time, building continuity of care and routines that suit both you and the person you support.

Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, reliable carers who like structure and the deeper relationships that live-in roles create. You’ll help with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and companionship, and you’ll be expected to follow any agreed care plan. Live-in shifts can vary—PrimeCarers lists typical ranges so you can choose what fits your life and travel arrangements.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area.
