Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Thrapston and the surrounding parts of Northamptonshire. If you’re used to pulling long shifts and want more control over who you work for, live-in care placements let you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and set their own rates and hours on the platform.
Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.Live-in roles suit carers who value continuity of care and who can commit to being based in a client’s home for the agreed period. You’ll help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks within agreed responsibilities. Every placement is different: you choose which clients you’ll accept and negotiate the pattern of days and breaks that suit you. Typical pay flexibility is shown on profiles and many carers set rates within £145–£160 per day.
PrimeCarers is built for people who want to stop working through agencies but keep the security of a simple admin system. You remain self-employed: you set your own fees, choose your clients, your hours and your service area. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. That means less paperwork and more time delivering care in Thrapston, Raunds, Irthlingborough and nearby towns such as Raunds, Irthlingborough, Burton Latimer, Higham Ferrers, Oundle and Rushden.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification, and most profiles go live within days once checks and references are complete. Applying takes minutes and you can have your profile active quickly so you can start viewing and accepting offers.
