Description

Live-in carers for Linslade live with clients in their own homes to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll work directly with families and often travel from across the country for placements in Linslade and the surrounding Bedfordshire area. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You set your own rates and £18.80–£20 per hour and choose which clients, hours and service area you’ll accept. Typical live-in day rates sit around £145–£160 per day, and many roles fall within a general range of £145–£160 per day depending on duties and experience.

Live-in work is about more than personal care: it includes companionship, supporting routines, medication prompts where needed and helping clients stay as independent as possible. You’ll have agreed breaks and time off built into each placement, and you remain self-employed — free to accept placements that fit your life and travel for periods you’re happy with.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the practical side: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you’re working on a placement arranged through the platform. You still manage your own tax and national insurance responsibilities as a self-employed carer.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You can create a profile in minutes; once verified, profiles typically go live within days so you can start hearing from families across Linslade, Leighton Buzzard, Woburn, Fenny Stratford, Houghton Regis, Woburn Sands and Bletchley and beyond.

If you’re ready to move away from shift-rota agency life and take charge of the clients you accept, live-in placements through PrimeCarers offer flexibility, clearer pay choices and practical support with contracts and payments. Apply in minutes and keep control of your rates, hours and where you work in Bedfordshire and further afield.
