Live-in Carer Jobs in Ilkley

Live-in care placements in Ilkley mean you'll live with a client in their own home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these roles and bring calm, continuity and skilled support to families in Ilkley and the wider community. Right now, 44 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and pick clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day; for clarity, you may see a breakdown by shift as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly work and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. You choose the pattern that fits your life—short stays, full live-in weeks or something between—and you negotiate arrangements with each family.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can concentrate on care rather than admin. Carers keep their independence: set your diary, agree breaks with the family and decide how far from your home base you’re willing to travel. Many carers who move from agency work to PrimeCarers say they value the closer relationships with families and the clearer working arrangements.

Typical live-in work in Ilkley and nearby towns such as Silsden, Keighley, Bingley, Baildon, Otley and Guiseley often involves personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation, companionship and supporting routines like sleep, mobility and day-to-day activities. You must be able to stay overnight and be present for agreed periods, while also respecting boundaries and agreed rest breaks.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, allowing you to start seeing opportunities across Ilkley and West Yorkshire without delay.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single job listing.

It’s quick to apply and could be the change that gives you more control, clearer contracts and the professional respect you want from live-in care work.
