Description
If you’re an experienced carer ready to step away from agency constraints, live-in care work around South Cave offers a different pace: you’ll live with a client in their home, support daily routines and be there through the night with agreed breaks. You choose which placements to accept, set your own hours and work in the areas you prefer across the East Riding of Yorkshire. Right now, 59 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in care suits carers who value continuity, deeper relationships and practical, hands-on support — helping with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility assistance, companionship and household routines. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and are welcomed by families in South Cave and nearby communities such as Brough, Market Weighton, Hessle, Winterton, Beverley and Barton upon Humber.
Pay is flexible because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical ranges you’ll see include £147.50–£160 per day, with common hourly and day ranges shown on profiles like £19–£20 per hour and £147.50–£160 per day. PrimeCarers matches you with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover for the time you’re working on a placement.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over where and how they work. Live-in care in South Cave is best for people who can commit to living with someone for an agreed period and who enjoy building long-term rapport. You’ll need the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one.
What to expect when you apply: the sign-up takes minutes. You’ll create a profile detailing your experience, qualifications and the live-in support you offer. Profiles are typically verified within days, after which you can be contacted by families and review matches before accepting any placement. Payments and invoicing are handled for you, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
Tips for success in South Cave: be clear about the hours you want, the distance you’re willing to travel and any specific care skills you offer. Mention any experience with long-term conditions, dementia, respite or palliative support. Many carers find live-in work deeply rewarding — it’s a different rhythm to shift work and can provide consistent hours and meaningful relationships in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
