Description
Live-in care in Stevenage gives experienced carers the chance to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility and companionship — staying on site and working to a schedule you’ve agreed with the family. Carers often travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing skills and a calm presence into someone’s home in Stevenage and the surrounding area.
Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These roles suit carers who want control and predictability. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can accept live-in placements that match your preferences. Typical pay is shown on profiles and in search results as £145–£160 per day. Whether you prefer shorter hourly shifts or longer live-in days, you decide what fits your life.
Live-in work is more than a shift pattern — it’s being part of someone’s day-to-day life. You’ll support morning and evening routines, mealtimes, mobility, medication where needed and social connection. Breaks are agreed in advance so you can rest and plan personal time. Many carers who’ve moved from agency work value the continuity and relationship-building that live-in roles provide in Stevenage and neighbouring towns such as Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Welwyn Garden City, Stotfold and Buntingford.
PrimeCarers supports you with the practical stuff so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoices and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed and in control of which assignments you take. Carers who prefer hourly or flexible shifts can compare £18.80–£20 per hour alongside live-in day rates shown as £145–£160 per day on profiles.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Hertfordshire or willing to travel for a live-in placement, creating a profile is the quickest way to see local opportunities and connect with families directly.
