Live-in Carer Jobs in Prettlewell

Live-in care in Prettlewell means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, meals and household tasks as agreed with each family. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements in Prettlewell and the surrounding area, working closely with families who want consistency and trust from someone who stays in the home. Right now, 93 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This role suits experienced, reliable carers who want the freedom of self-employment. You choose your own clients, hours and service area and you set your own rates — typical rates are £145–£160 per day. Live-in day rates and hourly-care ranges are available to discuss with families, with common ranges shown as £145–£160 per day and £18.80–£20 per hour. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over who you work for and how you organise your time, live-in care in Prettlewell offers a different pace and closer relationships with people you support.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we find families, handle contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than chasing paperwork. Families we work with are across Prettlewell and nearby towns such as Southend on Sea, Southend, Westcliff on Sea, Southchurch, Rochford and Thorpe Bay in Essex and beyond.

Requirements to join are practical and clear:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent care roles

Applying takes minutes — you create a profile, add your details and references, and we’ll verify your documents. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain free to accept or decline any client introductions that come your way. We never present a single fixed placement as the only option; instead we offer ongoing self-employed opportunities so you can build the work pattern that suits you around your life.

If you’re an experienced carer interested in live-in roles in Prettlewell, set up your PrimeCarers profile to start receiving client introductions. Many carers find live-in care rewarding both personally and professionally — and it’s a practical route to working independently while still having administrative support behind you.
