Description
Work as a self-employed live-in carer based around Newark on Trent and support people in their own homes. Live-in roles mean you live with a client, support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and can travel from across the country for placements. You set your own approach and care style while giving consistently compassionate support to people who value continuity and companionship.
Right now, 93 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
What the role looks like: live-in care usually includes help with morning and evening routines, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and light domestic tasks. Shifts are arranged so you have agreed breaks and rest periods; many carers work patterns that suit their life and travel preferences. These opportunities appeal if you want stability with one household, enjoy building relationships and prefer fewer, longer placements to frequent shift changes.
Pay and flexibility: PrimeCarers connects you with families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency work—especially those with a calm, patient approach to one-to-one care. You should have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify credentials so families can trust you and you can focus on care.
