Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced live-in care assistants who want more control over their work in Sheriff Hill. Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for these placements and choose the ones that suit them. Right now, 28 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Working with PrimeCarers suits carers who are ready to move away from agency rota pressures and toward flexible, self-directed work in Sheriff Hill and the wider Tyne and Wear area. You set your own hours, pick clients that fit your skills and values, and choose the service area you’ll cover, whether that’s locally or further afield to places like Windy Nook, Low Fell, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle and Great Heaton. Typical pay for roles like these sits around £145–£160 per day, and you control your own rates as a self-employed carer.
Live-in care is practical, hands-on support: help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance, companionship and keeping to established daily routines. You’ll be the main point of contact for one family while you’re living in their home, working with agreed rest breaks and boundaries set in the placement contract. This work suits experienced carers who value continuity, building relationships and the chance to practise rounded, person-centred care.
PrimeCarers finds the clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work on placements arranged through the platform. As self-employed carers on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients and manage your diary — we support the admin so you can focus on care.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. Typical requirements at a glance:
- Experience: Minimum 1 year of professional care experience.
- Checks: Enhanced DBS (we can help), plus verifiable references.
- Eligibility: Right to work in the UK.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active, PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families in Sheriff Hill and across Tyne and Wear; you stay in control of which placements to accept. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single job, so you can explore options and decide what fits your life and values.
If you’re ready to take charge of your care work in Sheriff Hill and try live-in placements with real support behind you, create your profile and get matched sooner than you might expect.
