Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in St Neots

Live-in care assistants on PrimeCarers live with clients in their own homes in and around St Neots, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship across waking hours with agreed breaks. Live-in working means you’ll provide one-to-one support, help manage medications and household routines, and be a consistent presence for the person you support. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements into St Neots and neighbouring areas, and you remain self-employed so you keep control over what you do and who you work with.

Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want steadier, more personal shifts than standard agency rotas. If you’re used to delivering hands-on care, enjoy building lasting relationships and prefer the predictability of a live-in placement, St Neots offers regular opportunities across domestic settings. Many carers choose to work in Cambridgeshire and commute from nearby towns or take placements that include travel; families often look for carers willing to cover Sandy, Godmanchester, Potton, Huntingdon, Biggleswade and Glebe Farm and surrounding villages.

Pay and flexibility: You are self-employed and set your own rates and hours. Typical rates for these roles are £145–£160 per day. For reference, carers often expect a range of hourly rates of £18.60–£20 per hour and live-in day rates of £145–£160 per day, but you decide what to charge. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work—so you can focus on care, not admin.

Requirements to join include at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You will also need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t yet have one. We verify documents and references before a profile goes live.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload ID and references, and choose how far you’ll travel and the types of care you offer. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than single roles, so you can pick and accept placements that match your needs.

If you’re ready to move away from agency shifts and try long-term, meaningful live-in care in St Neots, set up your profile and start browsing matches. Many carers find the pace and continuity of live-in work rewarding—especially when they can choose clients, hours and their service area.
