Live-in Carer Jobs in Newbury

Live-in care in Newbury means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll provide companionship, personal care and support with day-to-day activities while staying in the client’s home — carers often travel from across the country for live-in placements in and around Newbury and wider Berkshire.

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

PrimeCarers works with experienced, self-employed carers who want more control. On our platform you set your own rates, choose which clients to work with, pick the hours that suit you and define your service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. The admin is done for you, so you can focus on care.

Pay is flexible because you’re self-employed. Typical live-in and hourly arrangements on the platform sit around £145–£160 per day, and you choose the rate that reflects your experience and the support required. Many carers who leave agency work tell us the control over rates, rota and time off is what makes the difference.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who are comfortable with being part of someone’s home life for a period of time. You’ll need patience, respect for privacy and the ability to plan agreed breaks and rest. Live-in placements often cover Newbury and neighbouring towns such as Thatcham, Hungerford, Tadley, Lambourn, Basingstoke and Wantage, and carers regularly travel from other regions when the match is right.

To join PrimeCarers you must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once approved, PrimeCarers supports contract terms, payment processing and provides insurance cover while you’re working on a placement.

We do not advertise a single role here but an ongoing stream of self-employed live-in opportunities around Newbury and across Berkshire. If you’re an experienced carer looking for more autonomy and an alternative to agency life, complete a profile and tell us the kind of placements you want. Profiles are visible to families and agencies who use PrimeCarers, and you remain in control of which offers you accept.
