Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families seeking live-in support around Loughborough. Live-in care means you'll live with a client in their home, support daily routines and be available around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for placements, staying nearby or longer-term depending on the match. You set your own hours and rates, and you choose the clients you work for. Right now, 122 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
£147–£162 per day is the typical live-in day range, while shorter visits and hourly care follow £19–£20.70 per hour; overall roles listed here usually sit within £147–£162 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working for a client, so you can focus on care rather than admin.
This style of work suits experienced carers who want independence from agency routines: if you prefer to agree your own terms, decide when to take breaks and build relationships with the people you support, live-in care in Loughborough could be a good fit. Expect to support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household routines. You will spend most of your time in the client's home and be part of their daily life, so reliability, discretion and good communication are essential.
