Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe and across West Yorkshire. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines, personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation and companionship while taking agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. Right now, 73 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This is an ongoing set of self-employed opportunities in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, not a single placement. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Many live-in days fall within the typical ranges listed here: £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work.
Live-in work suits carers who prefer deeper continuity of care and who can live in for an agreed period while maintaining agreed breaks and time off. Expect to support daily routines, help with mobility and personal care, offer companionship and help keep a household running. Carers who switch from agency work often tell us they value the stability and closer relationships that live-in placements can bring in towns such as South Elmsall, Hemsworth, Brierley, Featherstone, Wombwell and Wath upon Dearne.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, choose assignments and manage how you work within each family’s expectations.
Applying takes minutes. Your profile typically goes live within days of verification, and then you can review matches and agree terms directly with families. If you’re based elsewhere, many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe and the wider West Yorkshire area — and stay for the placements they choose.
