Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Masham

Live-in care in Masham means living alongside the person you support, helping with day-to-day routines, mealtimes, personal care and companionship while taking agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements and you’ll be expected to work around the clock with clear, agreed rest periods. Right now, 28 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced, confident carers who prefer continuity of care and the chance to build real relationships. Live-in roles around Masham and the surrounding North Yorkshire villages suit people who can adapt to a household and who value being part of someone’s daily life rather than moving between short shifts. You can set your own rates and choose the length of placements; typical pay sits within £145–£160 per day depending on experience, specialisms and client needs. For clarity, typical hourly and live‑in ranges are shown as £19.20–£22 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers. That means you remain self-employed: you set your rates, choose clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working on a placement. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency setups toward more control and clearer paperwork, PrimeCarers makes the admin side straightforward so you can focus on care.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. We ask for references that confirm your recent care work and a basic profile so families can see your experience and any special skills.

Applications take minutes: create a profile, submit documents and one of our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you’ll start seeing matches for Masham and nearby towns such as Bedale, Middleham, Ripon, Leyburn, Pateley Bridge and Colburn. Live-in carers often travel to placements outside their home area; it’s common to relocate to a client’s home for the duration of a placement, with agreed arrangements for travel and breaks discussed up front.
