Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Springfield

Want to run your own live-in care work from Springfield? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Springfield and across Essex who need round-the-clock support, with agreed breaks. Right now, 122 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who enjoy building a stable relationship with one person or household, supporting daily routines, personal care, meal preparation and companionship in the client’s home. Many carers travel to Springfield from other parts of the UK for live-in placements; if you’re comfortable relocating for a placement you’ll find options here that match your experience and preferences. Typical rates are £148–£163.50 per day and you set the exact rate you charge.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want control. You choose your clients, hours and service area; we find the families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on high-quality care and on-going relationships without agency rota pressures.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

If you meet those requirements and prefer self-employed live-in work over agency shifts, PrimeCarers is straightforward to join. Apply in minutes by creating a profile; profiles typically go live within days of verification. We’ll support you through the paperwork and client introductions, and you remain free to accept or decline placements that don’t suit you.

Live-in care often involves working through the night with agreed breaks during the day; clear expectations are set with each family before you start. You’ll keep the independence of self-employment while having the administrative support PrimeCarers provides, including help with contracts and getting paid on time.

Many of the families we work with are in and around Springfield and nearby towns such as Chelmsford, Witham, Ingatestone, North End, Maldon and Heybridge. If you’re based in Essex or willing to travel, you’ll find a variety of ongoing live-in opportunities that fit experienced carers who value continuity of care and professional autonomy.

Ready to join? It only takes minutes to apply, and we’ll guide you through the checks and paperwork. Create your profile, set your hours and rates, and see the live-in matches that suit you.
