Description
Live-in care in Ulverston means living with a client in their home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and you can choose the areas you work in, including nearby towns such as Dalton in Furness, Millom, Grange over Sands, Broughton in Furness, Barrow in Furness and Clackwell. Right now, 30 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific role. Live-in work suits experienced carers who want continuity of care, deeper relationships and a predictable base for daily life. Your day-to-day will include helping with personal care, supporting mealtimes and mobility, prompting medications as agreed with the family, companionship and keeping the home environment safe and comfortable. Live-in shifts include planned rest breaks and sleep arrangements agreed with the client.
As a PrimeCarers member you remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and the service area you cover. Typical pay we see is £19–£30 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days; many carers list rates within £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
This kind of work suits people who already have at least one year of professional care experience and want to move away from rota-driven agency life while keeping flexibility. You’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
