Live-in Carer Jobs in Leiston

Live-in care in Leiston means living in with a client and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time away each day. You’ll be part of someone’s home life: helping with personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks as agreed in each placement. Carers travel from across the country for live-in roles and adapt to different homes and household rhythms. Right now, 89 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency work offers. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, set your own rates and decide your hours and service area. Many carers in and around Leiston enjoy the variety and depth of live-in placements while still keeping flexibility to take breaks and short trips away. Typical pay can be viewed as £145–£160 per day, with details often discussed directly with families using our platform; many carers also consider the difference between day and hourly arrangements when planning rotas, for example £19–£22 per hour or £145–£160 per day depending on the needs.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the practical side: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and we include insurance while you work through the platform. You remain self-employed and in control of which households you accept, including placements across Leiston and nearby towns such as Saxmundham, Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Orford, Southwold and Halesworth. PrimeCarers supports remote and travelling carers and helps make live-in work manageable no matter where you’re based in Suffolk.

Basic requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced professionals: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify details quickly so you can start connecting with families. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
