Description
If you want to offer live-in care in Oundle and stay in control of your working life, this is a straightforward way to do it. Live-in placements mean living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in care with PrimeCarers suits experienced, compassionate carers who value continuity of support and close relationships. You’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and supporting daily routines — all delivered in the client’s own home. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find the work deeply rewarding. Oundle’s community and the surrounding parts of Northamptonshire are welcoming places to work with a wide range of needs to support.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on the support you offer and the agreement you make with a family; some carers charge differently for hourly care (£18.60–£20.70 per hour) and live-in days (£145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on the care.
This kind of role suits people who have at least a year of professional care experience, are confident working independently, and want more control than agency shifts usually allow. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’re used to providing patient, person-centred support and want to build longer-term relationships, live-in work in Oundle could be a good fit.
Getting started takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, complete verification and your profile will typically go live within days. Once live, you can browse opportunities, choose a client and agree terms directly. Many carers who join PrimeCarers pick placements in and around Oundle and nearby towns such as Thrapston, Corby, Raunds, Stamford, Burton Latimer and Irthlingborough, or travel for longer placements depending on what suits them.
