Description

If you’re an experienced carer ready to move away from agency shifts, PrimeCarers connects self-employed live-in carers with families around Stone and across Staffordshire. Live-in care assistants stay with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from other parts of the country for these placements.
Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who want continuity of support and the chance to build close relationships: help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household routines, plus night checks and sleep-in arrangements as agreed with the family. You’ll be living in the client’s home, so flexibility, respect for the household and good communication matter as much as hands-on care.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day and you can see the usual £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates when you browse opportunities. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care and on negotiating the terms that suit you and the family.

These roles are found across Stone and nearby towns such as Eccleshall, Longton, Fenton, Stoke on Trent, Stafford and Newcastle under Lyme. Many carers based outside Staffordshire travel to Stone for live-in placements, attracted by the closer working relationships and predictable routines that live-in care brings.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single post here — this page describes ongoing self-employed opportunities that carers choose to accept. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload ID and references, and tell us about your live-in experience and preferred area. Once verified you’ll be visible to families looking for live-in support in Stone and across Staffordshire. If you prefer phone help, our team can talk you through setting up your profile and DBS options.

If you’re ready to move from agency rotas to live-in placements that give you control and continuity, PrimeCarers is built to make that switch straightforward. Create your profile today and start seeing matches in and around Stone within days.
