Live-in Carer Jobs in Norwich

Are you an experienced carer looking for live-in roles around Norwich and throughout Norfolk? Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off built into each placement. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing continuity and companionship to people who want to stay at home.
Right now, 88 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families, so you choose who you work with, the hours you take and the area you serve. You set your own rates and keep control of your work-life balance — typical ranges are £145–£160 per day. For comparison the usual hourly-care range is £18.80–£22.50 per hour and typical live-in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who want meaningful, one-to-one work: helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal routines, mobility support and companionship. Live-in placements require sensitivity, reliability and the ability to manage household routines while being available overnight. Agreed breaks are part of every live-in plan, and you’ll have clear terms about time off between visits.

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to switch to self-employed live-in work. We find clients for you and handle the contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on placements arranged through the platform. That means you can focus on care, not admin.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have these, applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification.

Many of our live-in roles are in and around Norwich, including nearby places such as Thorpe St Andrew, Rackheath, Wroxham, Wymondham, Loddon and Acle. Whether you’re local to Norfolk or happy to travel for a longer placement, you’ll meet families who want continuity of care from a skilled, consistent carer.

If you're ready to take control of your care work, create a profile and start choosing clients who suit you. The process is built for experienced carers who want independence, clarity and support from a platform that handles the practical side. Apply now and be ready to discuss the kind of live-in work that fits your life and professional values.
