Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Ingatestone

Live-in care in Ingatestone means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship and household tasks that keep someone safe and comfortable in their own surroundings. Live-in placements often attract carers who travel from across the country to stay with someone for a number of days at a time. Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with ongoing live-in opportunities across Ingatestone and the surrounding area. You set your own rates — many carers choose £148–£163 per day — and you choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. If you prefer shorter visits, longer waking nights or full live-in responsibility, you decide what to accept.

Typical pay formats vary by role and client need. For reference you may see ranges like £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £148–£163 per day for live-in days, but each carer sets their own price when they join. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work usually offers. You should have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single role here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities for carers ready to choose their own clients in Ingatestone and across Essex.

If you’re used to the pace of agency life but want clearer say over who you work for, when you work and what you charge, live-in care through PrimeCarers could be a good next step. Carers travel from across the UK for placements and often find steady, well-matched live-in work near Ingatestone and in nearby towns such as Billericay, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Ongar, Springfield and Wickford.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload basic checks and references, and our verification team will usually get your profile live within days. Once live you can review client requests and accept the placements that suit you. Insurance is included while you work, and PrimeCarers manages the paperwork so you can focus on care.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to shape your working life around clients you choose, join PrimeCarers and find live-in care roles in Ingatestone and beyond.
