Description
Live-in care in Middleham means living with a client in their own home to support daily routines, provide personal care, help with meals and medication, and offer companionship. Work runs around the clock with agreed breaks so you can deliver steady, relationship-based care. Carers travel from across the country to take on live-in placements and many find the stability suits experienced carers who want more control over their work-life balance.
Right now, 30 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of role suits carers with at least a year of hands-on professional experience who enjoy close, consistent working relationships. Typical live-in duties include helping with mobility, personal care, household tasks, planning and preparing meals, prompting medication and keeping company. You’ll be expected to follow care plans and communicate with families, other professionals and PrimeCarers when needed. Live-in shifts include agreed rest breaks and changeovers; you’ll always know the working arrangements before you accept a placement.
PrimeCarers works differently from an agency. You are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients and hours you want, and pick the service area you’ll cover. Many carers on our platform charge within £145–£160 per day depending on experience and duties. We find clients for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a PrimeCarers placement, and we can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can support the application if you don’t already have one. We also ask for clear references so families can be confident about who they invite into their homes.
