Description

Looking for live-in care work around Thornton Cleveleys that lets you keep control? PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families who need round-the-clock support. Live-in care means you’ll live with someone in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship with agreed breaks and time off. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you decide how far you’ll go. Right now, 35 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit experienced hands who want continuity of care and a closer working relationship with a client. You’ll be helping with meal routines, medication prompts, mobility support, personal care and staying alert to changing needs through the day and night. Days and nights look different in every placement, but the principle is the same: you’re there to keep life stable for the person you support.

Pay and flexibility are built around you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay levels include £144–£160 per day and you can also see £18.89–£21.30 per hour for hourly work or £144–£160 per day per day for live-in placements. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care and on choosing the right clients.

This is a practical route if you’re thinking of moving on from agency work. You choose clients, hours and your service area, and PrimeCarers supports the paperwork and payment side. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
