Description
Live-in care in Ingleby Barwick means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll work closely with one person or couple, helping with personal care, medication prompts, mobility, meals and companionship. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so you may be based locally or coming in from elsewhere around Stockton-on-Tees and the region. Right now, 31 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in days are focused on enabling a comfortable, safe life at home. Tasks vary day to day: personal care, preparing meals, supporting mobility, helping with appointments, and offering company and reassurance during evenings or overnight. Breaks are agreed in advance and arranged so you have rest periods while the client remains supported.
This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency rota work typically offers. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed and set your own rates. Typical figures are £145–£160 per day; for reference typical hourly care ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour and typical live-in day rates are £145–£160 per day. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area that suit you — whether you prefer placements in Ingleby Barwick itself or nearby towns such as Thornaby on Tees, Eaglescliffe, Yarm, Stockton on Tees, Fairfield and Stokesley.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. The platform is designed to remove much of the admin so you can focus on care.
Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, add your experience and references, and select live-in as a preference. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review and choose from live-in opportunities that match your availability and rate. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Ingleby Barwick and surrounding communities, not a single role — you pick what works for you and your life.
