Description

Live-in care in Stow on the Wold means living alongside a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements, bringing practical experience and companionship to households in and around this Cotswold market town.
Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want steadier, more personal relationships than shift-based agency work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits between £19–£22 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in days, and we publish the usual local range as £145–£160 per day so families know what to expect.

PrimeCarers introduces you to families in Stow on the Wold and nearby areas such as Moreton in Marsh, Chipping Norton, Northleach, Chipping Campden, Burford and Shipston on Stour, and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a placement and PrimeCarers will support practical admin so you can focus on care. Many carers tell us the stability of a live-in placement helps them build stronger routines and better outcomes for the people they support.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not place people as employees — you remain self-employed and in control of your working pattern. Live-in roles require flexibility, a calm approach to household life and the willingness to travel to placements in Gloucestershire and beyond.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, confirm your experience and references, and PrimeCarers verifies your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and carers often begin receiving introductions quickly. If you want the independence of setting your own rates and the support of a platform that handles contracts and payments, live-in care in Stow on the Wold could be the next step in your career.
