Description
Live-in care roles in Killamarsh put experienced carers at the heart of people's homes across South Yorkshire. These placements mean living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you decide who you work for, what you charge and where you’ll travel. Live-in roles require reliability, patience and practical skill: helping with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, mobility and companionship while respecting the client’s home and daily rhythms. You’ll be a steady presence for someone who wants to remain independent at home, often in and around Killamarsh and nearby areas like Eckington, Netherthorpe, Barrow Hill and Whittington, Anston, Dinnington and Bolsover.
Pay and flexibility are central to these roles. Carers set their own rates and often see £145–£160 per day for similar posts; some prefer to charge by the hour and others by day. Typical ranges you might consider are £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. There are no shifts imposed on you — you agree hours and breaks with each family and travel where you decide.
Who these roles suit:
- Experienced carers with at least a year of professional care experience who want more control than agency work allows.
- People comfortable living in someone’s home for the duration of the placement and able to build routines and trust.
- Carers prepared to travel to Killamarsh from elsewhere in the UK for longer placements.
To join PrimeCarers you’ll need:
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
- At least 1 year of professional care experience and verifiable references.
- The right to work in the UK.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working so you can focus on the care. You remain self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and sign terms directly with each family.
Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
