Description
If you are an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers helps you find self-employed live-in care opportunities in and around Tring. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You choose which clients and which hours suit you, and you set your own rate; typical listings use a range of £145–£160 per day for guidance.
Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in placements often suit carers who prefer continuity of care, close relationships with families and the practical rewards of supporting someone in their own home. Many of our carers travel from across the country to take live-in roles in Tring and neighbouring towns such as Wendover, Berkhamsted, Chesham, Aylesbury, Ley Hill and Linslade, and placements also come from elsewhere across Hertfordshire.
PrimeCarers works with self-employed carers: you decide your service area, clients and routines. We find families, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are on a placement. That means less admin for you and clearer, direct relationships with the people you support.
Who this suits
- Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want consistent, person-centred work
- People comfortable living in someone else’s home and setting daily routines with dignity and respect
- Carers who value autonomy — choosing clients, agreeing breaks and organising time off
Minimum requirements to join PrimeCarers are an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and at least one year of professional care experience. We will guide you through verification so your profile can go live within days once checks are complete.
Pay and practicalities: you set your own rate and can review it between placements. For reference many carers and families use the platform's ranges such as £18.80–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days, while individual fees are agreed directly between carer and family. Travel to Tring from nearby towns is common, and PrimeCarers supports contract and payment administration so you can focus on care.
Applying takes minutes — create your profile, upload references and DBS, and start reviewing matches. If you want steady live-in work around Tring, with the freedom of self-employment but practical support for contracts and insurance, PrimeCarers is built for that next step in your career.
