Live-in Carer Jobs in Lostwithiel

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Lostwithiel who need live-in support. As a live-in carer you’ll be living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for long-term live-in placements, and many find the pace and continuity suits those wanting deeper relationships with the people they support.

Right now, 18 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work is different from shift-based care: you become part of someone’s home life while keeping clear, agreed boundaries about hours, breaks and duties. You’ll manage daytime support, evening routines and night checks as needed, with time off arranged in advance. This role suits carers who are comfortable taking responsibility, enjoy companionship and want predictable, stable work in Cornwall and surrounding towns such as St Blazey, Par, Bodmin, Fowey, Charlestown and St Austell.

On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical earnings for this kind of role fall within £146–£170 per day, though individual arrangements vary by client and duties. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working, so you can focus on care rather than administration.

To join you need 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 verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. If you’re used to agency systems and want more control over where you work and who you work with, this is set up for that trade-off between independence and security.

What you’ll see on PrimeCarers:

• Ongoing self-employed opportunities for live-in care across Lostwithiel and Cornwall.
• Clear client adverts that describe the home, care needs and agreed daily rhythms.
• Support with contracts, payments and insurance while you work.

How to apply: create a profile, upload your references and evidence of ID/Right to Work, and tell us about your experience. We’ll guide you through DBS help if required. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable live-in opportunities quickly.
