Live-in Carer Jobs in Royston

Live-in care in Royston gives experienced carers the chance to work closely with one person or couple, supporting daily routines, companionship and personal care while living in the client's home. As a live-in carer you'll be on hand around the clock with agreed breaks, and many carers travel from across the country to take these placements in Royston and the wider Cambridgeshire area. Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who want stability, deeper relationships with clients and more control than agency shifts allow. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the service area you cover. PrimeCarers helps match you to families in Royston, nearby towns such as Buntingford, Baldock, Stotfold, Potton, Letchworth and Arlesey, and across Cambridgeshire, and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.

Pay for live-in roles varies by client and needs. On PrimeCarers carers set their own rates and the platform typically lists roles at £145–£160 per day. You can also compare typical ranges for waking nights and hourly care: £19–£21.20 per hour for standard hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a live-in day rate, depending on the arrangement.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers who’ve done at least a year of professional care and want to move away from rota-driven agency life.
• Calm, responsible people who are comfortable living in someone else’s home and supporting day-to-day routines.
• Self-employed professionals who want to set their own schedule and rates while keeping control of their work-life balance.

To join you’ll need a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers includes insurance while you work on placements and handles the paperwork so you don’t have to.

Applying takes minutes. Build a profile, upload your documents and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days. From there you can start reviewing matching clients in Royston and the surrounding area.
