Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Parkeston

Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed live‑in carer supporting people in Parkeston and the surrounding area. Live‑in care means you’ll stay in the client’s home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and can choose the distance they’re willing to travel. You set your own hours and your own rates, so you can balance income and life on your terms. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live‑in roles are ideal for experienced carers who want continuity of care and deeper relationships with people they support. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility and companionship, and stay available through the night as agreed. These placements suit carers who prefer a consistent rota, who enjoy building trust over time, and who are comfortable working in someone’s home in Parkeston, Essex and nearby towns such as Harwich, Dovercourt, Felixstowe, Walton on the Naze, Frinton on Sea and Manningtree.

Pay is set by you — many carers use £145–£160 per day as their guide when deciding rates; for live‑in work you may also consider the daily arrangements that reflect overnight responsibilities. PrimeCarers makes administration straightforward: we introduce you to clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed and free to choose which clients and hours to accept.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check paperwork quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification — creating a profile takes only minutes. If you currently work via an agency and are thinking of moving to self‑employment, this path gives you more control without the paperwork hassle.

How applications work: create a short profile with your experience, upload your DBS and references (or let us help), and set the service area you’re willing to travel to. You’ll be able to state your preferred hours and the type of live‑in care you provide. PrimeCarers introduces suitable families and supports the contracting so you can focus on care.
