Description
Live-in Carer Jobs in Ossett give experienced carers the chance to live with a client and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication support and household help as agreed with each family — all within the client’s home in Ossett or nearby towns.
Right now, 50 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These roles suit carers who value continuity of care and want to build strong relationships with people they support. Many carers choose live-in work because it offers deeper involvement in someone’s day-to-day life and a predictable set of responsibilities. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so whether you currently live in West Yorkshire or would consider travelling, you’ll find options in and around Ossett.
Pay and flexibility are in your control. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You choose clients, hours and your service area, and typical rates are shown as £145–£160 per day. For day-versus-hour comparisons we also display local hourly and live-in ranges like £18.50–£19.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day so you can decide what suits you.
PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means fewer admin headaches and more time with the people you support.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Willingness to live-in with a client for agreed shifts, with planned breaks.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control — setting your own rates, choosing clients and managing your time — PrimeCarers is built for that change. Many carers use the platform to move from shift-based work into longer, relationship-focused live-in placements across Ossett and the wider West Yorkshire patch, including Dewsbury, Wakefield, Batley, Heckmondwike, Morley and Mirfield.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload a couple of documents and references, and we’ll verify you — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review introductions and accept the live-in opportunities that suit you.
If you want reliable, self-employed live-in roles in Ossett with clear admin support and insurance in place while you work, PrimeCarers makes the process straightforward and practical.
