Live-in Carer Jobs in Killingworth

PrimeCarers is connecting experienced carers with live-in roles around Killingworth and across Tyne and Wear. As a live-in carer you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; many carers travel from other parts of the country for live-in placements. You remain self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — typical pay sits within £145–£160 per day. Right now, 27 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work involves: live-in care suits people who are happy to be part of someone’s home life, able to support morning and evening routines, personal care, medication prompts and companionship. Tasks vary by client; you’ll agree a schedule and breaks in advance so you get time away from the home. Roles in and around Killingworth often require flexibility, patience and good communication with families and healthcare professionals.

Why carers choose PrimeCarers: you stay self-employed and in control. You set your own hourly or live-in rates — many list within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day per live-in day — and pick the clients that fit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working on a placement. That means less paperwork and more time caring.

Who we look for: you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), and verifiable references. We welcome carers based in Killingworth and nearby communities such as Little Benton, Darsley Park, Longbenton, Wallsend, Cramlington and Great Heaton who are ready to move into live-in work or travel for placements.

Practical details: these are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single fixed role. You choose how far you will travel and which placements to accept. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
