Live-in Carer Jobs in Shirebrook

Work as a live-in carer in Shirebrook, supporting someone in their own home by living with them and helping with daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel to Shirebrook from across the country for placements, and PrimeCarers supports those arrangements so you can focus on care. Right now, 92 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work suits experienced carers who want continuity of care and the freedom to organise their day-to-day support. You’ll be helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household routines, while respecting the client’s home and family. Placements are based in and around Shirebrook and wider Derbyshire, including nearby towns such as Warsop, Bolsover, Mansfield, Sutton in Ashfield, Netherthorpe and Kirkby in Ashfield.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical care rates are £145–£160 per day. For reference, many carers quote daytime rates in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates around £145–£160 per day depending on the support required and your experience.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less admin for you and clearer agreements with families. You remain in control of which placements you accept and the hours you work, making it a practical option for carers leaving agency rotas or wanting more predictable continuity with one person at a time.

Who we’re looking for

• 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.

We know live-in placements ask a lot: you’ll be expected to be reliable, compassionate and able to manage the practical side of living in someone’s home. In return you’ll get the chance to build strong relationships, work with clearer terms, and plan breaks that suit both you and the person you support.
