Description
Live-in care in Preesall means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many experienced carers choose live-in work because it allows deeper relationships and continuity of care. Placements can attract carers from across the country who travel for longer stays, as well as local carers based in and around Preesall. Right now, 33 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with short-term hourly care commonly in the range of £19–£21.30 per hour and full live-in days usually shown as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles the contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
This type of role suits carers who have at least one year of professional care experience, verifiable references and the right to work in the UK. You’ll also need an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. Living with a client means being comfortable with round-the-clock responsibility, supporting personal care, mealtimes, medication prompts, companionship and household routines, while taking agreed breaks and maintaining professional boundaries.
Many carers moving from agency work find the self-employed route gives them more control over work-life balance and pay. With PrimeCarers you decide the service area you’ll accept; some carers take roles near home in Preesall and nearby towns like Fleetwood, Thornton Cleveleys, Cleveleys, Poulton le Fylde, Blackpool and Garstang, while others travel from further afield for longer placements.
Applying takes minutes. Build a simple profile, upload references and any certificates, and PrimeCarers will verify your details — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review family requests and choose the placements that match your skills and availability. There is no fixed rota imposed by PrimeCarers; you negotiate the live-in arrangements directly with the family.
