Description
Live-in care in Long Sutton means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in and around Long Sutton, so you won’t need to be local to work here. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced, reliable carers who like continuity and close working relationships. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility support, companionship and household tasks that keep someone safe and comfortable at home. Live-in shifts are about being present and responsive rather than constant active care, and every placement has agreed rest and break arrangements.
PrimeCarers is designed for self-employed carers who want more control. You set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is £145–£160 per day for care work. For reference, typical hourly care sits around £18.50–£21.50 per hour, while live-in day rates are often within £145–£160 per day — you decide what to charge for each placement.
We work across Lincolnshire and nearby towns such as Holbeach, Wisbech, Spalding, Kings Lynn, Crowland and Boston, so there are regular opportunities for live-in roles near Long Sutton and in the surrounding area. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working on a placement. That means less admin for you and faster, clearer payment flows.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify your documents and references quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes and you remain fully self-employed throughout — you pick which enquiries to accept and when you’re available.
We don’t list a single vacancy here; this page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities around Long Sutton.
