Description

Looking for live‑in care work based around Ollerton? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families who need someone to live in and support daily routines, from personal care and medication prompts to companionship and household help. Live‑in placements can suit carers who like routine, want to build deeper relationships and are happy to travel from elsewhere in the UK for stays. Right now, 110 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Pay and practicalities are flexible: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area they accept. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with short hourly shifts commonly within £18.80–£20 per hour and live‑in placements paid by the day at £145–£160 per day. You remain self‑employed, so you control availability and how you work in a client’s home in and around Ollerton and nearby areas such as Ollerton and Boughton, Warsop, Shirebrook, Mansfield, Worksop and East Retford.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care. We find potential clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That support is designed for carers who are used to agency systems but want more control over who they work for and the hours they do.

This kind of role suits carers with at least one year of professional care experience who are comfortable living with a client and supporting routines around the clock with agreed breaks. To join you’ll need the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. We expect candidates to bring compassion, reliability and the ability to work independently in a client’s home in Ollerton or elsewhere in Nottinghamshire.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and our team will verify details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review enquiries and choose assignments that suit you. Travel to live‑in placements from other parts of the country is common, so being flexible about travel helps when selecting roles.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to move away from restrictive rotas but keep the support of a platform that handles contracts and payments, PrimeCarers can be a straightforward step. Set your rate, pick clients in and around Ollerton, and keep the independence of self‑employment with practical backing when you work.
