Description
Looking for live-in care work in Kirkham that gives you control over your day-to-day and respects your experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families needing overnight and round-the-clock support in private homes across Kirkham and beyond. Live-in placements mean you’ll live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship with agreed breaks and time off. Right now, 37 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in care suits experienced, compassionate carers who prefer continuity of care and deeper relationships with the people they support. Many carers travel from other parts of the UK for live-in placements and some come from nearby towns such as Wesham, Medlar with Wesham, Penwortham, Poulton le Fylde, Broughton and Lytham St Annes. You’ll be working across Kirkham and elsewhere in Lancashire, often in quieter domestic settings rather than busy shifts in hospitals.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls around £145–£160 per day for care roles; hourly and day ranges are shown on our platform so you can compare options before you enquire — see £18.80–£21.30 per hour and £145–£160 per day for examples. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list a single role here — this is an ongoing opportunity to be matched with families who need live-in support across Kirkham and the surrounding area.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and we typically have profiles live within days of verification. Once live you can browse live-in opportunities, message families and accept placements that suit your availability and boundaries. You remain self-employed at all times and free to set your schedule and rates.
If you’re a committed carer ready to move away from agency shift work and want deeper, flexible live-in roles in Kirkham, we’d love to hear from you. Create your PrimeCarers profile today and start seeing matched families within days.
