Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Selby

Live-in care in Selby means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer continuity, deeper relationships and a predictable base rather than shift-based rotas. Carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements, bringing skills and stability to households across Selby and the surrounding area of North Yorkshire. Right now, 50 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This platform advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Selby and nearby towns such as Snaith, Sherburn in Elmet, Howden, Knottingley, Goole and Tadcaster. You’ll be able to choose which clients to work with, set your own rates and agree hours and break patterns that suit you. Typical rates vary by placement and client needs; many carers work within £145–£160 per day. Hourly care often sits between £18.50–£20 per hour, while live-in day rates are usually £145–£160 per day. We don’t offer fixed promises of income — instead you control your price and accept the placements that fit your life.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement. That means less time on paperwork and more time on care. If you’ve been thinking about stepping away from agency rotas, this is a route that keeps professional support but gives you independence and clarity.

Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll need to be comfortable providing personal care, supporting mobility, medication prompts as agreed, and offering companionship — often for long periods in someone’s home. Live-in roles require patience, good communication with families, and the ability to manage agreed breaks safely.

Applying takes just minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Carers from across the UK regularly travel to Selby for placements because they offer continuity and a chance to build meaningful relationships with clients and families. If you want to work independently but with back-office support, PrimeCarers is built for that.
