Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Newcastle under Lyme

Live-in care means living with someone in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, companionship, medication prompts, meal support and keeping life comfortable and safe — often in family homes across Newcastle under Lyme. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay falls in £145–£160 per day for care shifts, and many carers decide on a day rate for live‑in placements that reflects the extra responsibility of being in the home.

PrimeCarers brings the work to you: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline placements in Newcastle under Lyme and beyond. Many live‑in carers travel from across the country for short or longer placements, and we support those arrangements whether you already live locally or are happy to travel from Stoke on Trent, Hanley Grange, Burslem, Fenton, Tunstall or Longton (Stoke on Trent, Hanley Grange, Burslem, Fenton, Tunstall and Longton).

What the role involves varies with each person you support. Most live‑in days include practical help with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, mobility assistance, mealtime support and companionship. You’ll also manage agreed breaks and downtime. This work suits carers who are organised, calm, and capable of working independently while respecting the client’s home and family routines.

To join you’ll need 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 do not advertise one-off jobs here — these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Newcastle under Lyme and Staffordshire, so bring your experience and values rather than a fixed shift pattern.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. When you’re matched to a family you can discuss duties, hours and pay directly and sign a contract through PrimeCarers with invoices and payments handled for you.
