Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Lancaster

Looking for live-in care work in Lancaster that fits your experience and lifestyle? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families needing round-the-clock support at home. Live-in roles mean you live with a client, support daily routines, help with personal care and companionship, and take agreed breaks so the placement suits both of you. Right now, 25 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who value consistency and a closer relationship with the person they support. Many live-in placements involve assisting with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, meal support, mobility help and companionship through the day. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and we regularly list roles across Lancaster and nearby towns such as Morecambe, Carnforth, Garstang, Wennington, Grange over Sands and Preesall.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical rates for live-in roles sit at £145–£160 per day. Live-in work can be a steady alternative to shift-based agency work if you prefer continuity and a single household focus.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not recruit for one-off shifts here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Lancaster and the wider Lancashire area. If you meet the requirements, applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How it works in practice: you review client details, ask questions, and choose only the placements that match your skills and preferences. You and the family agree the day-to-day routine and the schedule of agreed breaks. PrimeCarers supports the paperwork and payment flow so you can focus on delivering quality, person-centred care.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to leave agency-rostered work, consider live-in roles for deeper relationships, predictable weeks and more control over your work. Create your profile, upload references and DBS details, and we’ll introduce you to suitable families across Lancaster and Lancashire. Applying is quick, and many carers are matched to placements within days.
