Description
Looking for live-in care opportunities around Leek and across Staffordshire that give you control and respect? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need round-the-clock support in their own homes. Live-in roles mean you’ll be living with a client, supporting daily routines and personal care while taking agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for these placements. Right now, 84 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in work suits carers who prefer continuity of care and closer relationships with the people they support. Typical duties include supporting morning and evening routines, helping with mobility and medication prompts, preparing meals, companionship and spotting small changes in health or mood. You’ll work to an agreed schedule that includes rest breaks and time away from the home, with clear arrangements in every placement.
As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rate and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £145–£160.50 per day, with common hourly roles around £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates typically £145–£160.50 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.
This is an ongoing opportunity, not a single job posting. We’re looking for carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed) and verifiable references. If you’re thinking about stepping away from agency life and want more control over who you care for and when, PrimeCarers could be the right fit.
PrimeCarers covers Leek and nearby areas including Biddulph, Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley Grange, Congleton and Kidsgrove. Applying takes minutes: create your profile, add your experience and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll be able to review potential matches and accept placements that suit you.
We keep things practical and transparent: you remain self-employed, you choose the work that fits your life, and we take care of the paperwork so you can focus on quality care. If you want continuity, better work-life balance and to be treated as a professional, create a profile today and see live-in opportunities around Leek and throughout Staffordshire.
