Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Olney

Live-in care in Olney means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, meal prep, medication prompts, companionship and household routines while respecting the person’s home and independence. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many who join PrimeCarers prefer the continuity and depth of relationship this work allows.

Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers is a platform that links self-employed carers with families in Olney and nearby areas such as Newport Pagnell, Grange Park, Wolverton and Greenleys, Kempston, Stony Stratford and Bedford and across Milton Keynes. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical hourly care ranges are around £18.89–£21 per hour and live-in day rates typically sit at £148–£163.50 per day; many carers list their own guide range within £148–£163.50 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts usually allow. Live-in placements suit people who enjoy building close, routine-based relationships and who can stay in a household overnight for agreed periods with scheduled breaks. You’ll need stamina, patience and good communication, alongside the practical care skills you’ve already used in previous roles.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You also need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. When you apply it takes minutes to complete your profile, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with clear paperwork and payments so you can focus on care. Families contact you directly through the platform, and you agree terms before any placement. If you currently work through an agency and are thinking about a change, moving to self-employed live-in work via PrimeCarers keeps the care work in your hands while removing much of the admin burden.

If you’re based near Olney, or travel from Milton Keynes and surrounding towns, and you meet the requirements, creating a profile is the next step. It’s straightforward, quick and designed for carers who want independence, predictable admin support and the chance to choose work that fits their life.
