Live-in Carer Jobs in Skelmersdale

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Skelmersdale and across Lancashire who need dependable, compassionate live-in support. Live-in roles mean you stay in the client’s home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for these placements. Right now, 43 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work suits skilled carers who want continuity of care, closer relationships with clients and simpler scheduling than shift-based agency work. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day with £18.50–£20 per hour available for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates — you decide what you charge.

PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care without the admin burden. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matched and working in Skelmersdale quickly.

We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need the practical skills for personal care, medication prompts, supporting mobility and daily routines, plus the emotional resilience to work closely with people in their homes.

If you already cover nearby towns such as Newburgh, Appley, Rainford, Ormskirk, Wigan and Ince in Makerfield you’ll find local matches regularly, but many live-in placements attract carers from further afield. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities — not a single role — so you can pick the matches that fit your life and goals. Profiles are judged on experience and references, so present your best work history and clear DBS to speed verification.

To apply, create your PrimeCarers profile, upload references and your DBS (or request help arranging one) and set the areas and availability you’re willing to work. There’s no obligation to accept matches: you choose the clients and the hours. If you want more information about live-in expectations, travel or how invoicing is handled, the PrimeCarers team will answer your questions as you set up.

If you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency shifts and take more control over who you care for and how you work in Skelmersdale, join PrimeCarers to see live-in opportunities tailored to experienced, professional carers.
