Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed live‑in care assistant working with families around Leyburn and the wider North Yorkshire area. Live‑in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and personal care around the clock with agreed breaks. Placements attract carers who travel from across the country for longer live‑in periods and prefer the continuity and deeper relationships that home care brings. Right now, 35 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live‑in roles suit experienced, practical carers who value stability and autonomy. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship — all within the client’s own home. Many of our Leyburn placements involve gently paced days, helping people keep familiar routines and stay connected with their community, whether that’s regular trips into Leyburn town or outings to nearby places like Middleham, Colburn, Masham, Bedale, Hawes and Pateley Bridge.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay sits around £144–£160 per day, with hourly and live‑in ranges shown on profiles (£18.50–£21.50 per hour and £144–£160 per day). PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work on a placement.
Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced carers: 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 don’t advertise a single post here — we’re describing ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Leyburn and across North Yorkshire for carers ready to take more control of their work.
- Flexible control: Choose who you work with, where and when.
- Professional support: We handle contracts, invoices and payments so you can focus on care.
