Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Milton Keynes

Live-in care means you live in a client’s home and support their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. In Milton Keynes and across Buckinghamshire you’ll work closely with one person or couple, building continuity and companionship as well as practical support. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience and calm to people who want to stay at home.

Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This is an ongoing self-employed route rather than a single role: you choose the clients you take on, the hours and the area you cover. Many carers who use PrimeCarers set their own rates and enjoy the control that comes with being self-employed. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges often shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day depending on the client’s needs and the agreement you reach.

What the job involves day to day varies with each placement. Common tasks include personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support, companionship, and keeping the home safe and comfortable. Live-in work suits carers who like deeper relationships, steady routines and responsibility for comprehensive support — and who are comfortable staying in the client’s home for the agreed period.

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to work independently: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and can accept or decline referrals to fit your life.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
