Live-in Carer Jobs in Truro

Live-in Carer roles in Truro mean living in with an older person or adult with care needs and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. These placements suit carers who prefer continuity of care and the companion-style reward of being part of someone’s home life. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often cover Truro and surrounding areas.

Right now, 10 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work fits experienced, confident practitioners who value autonomy. You’ll be self-employed and free to set your own approach to care, choosing clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover. Many carers who move away from agency rotas find live-in roles in Truro offer predictable days for personal planning while still delivering meaningful support to clients.

To join PrimeCarers you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single post here — this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Truro and nearby towns such as Penryn, St Mawes, Falmouth, Redruth, Camborne and St Columb Major in Cornwall. You’ll be expected to agree a clear rota with each client so breaks and time off are planned into the placement.

Pay is set by you: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical ranges are often shown as £145–£168.50 per day depending on care needs and experience. For hourly tasks outside live-in work you might expect £20–£25 per hour, and typical live-in day rates are published as £145–£168.50 per day. We never promise specific earnings for any individual placement because each arrangement is agreed between you and a family.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less admin for you and a clearer financial process between family and carer. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families across Truro and the wider Cornwall area quickly.

If you’re ready to keep control of your work and live-in with a client in and around Truro, join PrimeCarers to see who needs care now. Create a profile, complete verification and start reviewing opportunities that suit the life you want.
