Description
Live-in care in Otley means living with a client in their home and supporting everyday routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience and calm to people who prefer to stay at home in Otley and the surrounding area of North Yorkshire.
Right now, 39 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life can offer. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day for care work; for reference live shifts and hourly-only work can vary within £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.
Live-in care is about relationships and routine. You will support daily tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, mobility assistance, meal support and companionship. Duties are agreed with each family so you know when you’ll be supporting personal care, coordinating appointments or simply keeping company. Breaks and time off are arranged as part of the placement.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed: you choose the clients you accept and the hours you’re available. Many carers based near Guiseley, Yeadon, Norwood, Baildon, Horsforth and Ilkley and beyond find long-term live-in work through the platform.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. If you’re already caring in Otley or elsewhere in North Yorkshire, moving to self-employed live-in work can be a straight change of pace without starting from scratch.
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, families can review your profile and PrimeCarers will support the paperwork and payment flow so you can focus on care.
