Description
Live-in care in Kings Lynn means living in with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many experienced carers move from agency shifts to live-in placements because they value continuity of care and the chance to build real relationships. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you can too.
Right now, 119 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day but you decide the exact rate for each placement; many carers also quote from £18–£18.89 per hour for hourly work or £145–£160 per day for live-in days. We introduce you to families in Kings Lynn and surrounding areas including Downham Market, Wisbech, Long Sutton, Hunstanton, Swaffham and Holbeach, and you choose which introductions to accept.
Live-in work suits carers who are comfortable being part of someone's home and day-to-day life. Tasks are the sort you already know: personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship, mobility assistance and household help tied to the client's routine. Shifts are agreed with the family in advance; you will have scheduled breaks and time off as part of the arrangement.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required — PrimeCarers can help you arrange this if you don’t already have one. Because carers on the platform are self-employed, you remain in control of the how and where of your work while we handle the admin that often pulls you away from care.
PrimeCarers finds clients, prepares contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working on a placement. Applying takes minutes — you complete a profile, upload checks and references, and our verification team moves you through quickly. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start getting introductions without long waits.
If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency life but want practical support with bookings, contracts and payments, live-in roles around Kings Lynn offer a manageable, rewarding alternative. Create your profile and take back control of your work, your hours and your relationships with the people you care for.
