Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Rothbury

Live-in care in Rothbury means you’ll live with a client in their own home and support their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing continuity and companionship to people who prefer to stay in their own home in Rothbury and throughout Northumberland.

Right now, 22 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose which households to work with, set your own rates and decide your hours and service area. Typical live-in arrangements involve personal care, support with mobility, medicine prompts, meal preparation, light domestic tasks and companionship. You will provide day-to-day support and be part of a client’s life for as long as both of you agree — with scheduled breaks and time away built into the plan. PrimeCarers supports carers who travel into Rothbury from other towns like Alnwick, Amble, Morpeth, Ashington, West Bedlington and Wooler and beyond.

Pay and flexibility matter. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; many live-in roles fall within £144–£160 per day depending on the arrangement, while short hourly care and day rates typically sit around £15–£25 per hour and £144–£160 per day respectively. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who prefer long shifts and continuity of care rather than shift-based agency rotas. Live-in roles are not just nights and waking duties: they often combine practical care, social contact and supporting routines that help people maintain independence at home in Rothbury and nearby communities. If you value autonomy, meaningful relationships and being part of someone’s daily life, live-in care could be right for you.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly — applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a profile, upload your experience and references, and tell us which areas you’ll cover. Once verified, you can review client requests and choose placements that suit you. Many carers moving away from agency work find this approach offers clearer control over their time and earnings while still giving the stability of longer placements in Rothbury and across Northumberland.
