Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed live-in care assistant in Uppingham and support an older person or adult with daily routines while living in their home. Live-in work centres on companionship, personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation and keeping the household safe—plus being there for the small, meaningful moments that make a house a home. Live-in carers stay with a client and work around the clock with agreed breaks and time off; many carers travel from across the country for placements in Uppingham and the wider Rutland area. You set your own hours and fees, and you choose the clients you want to work with.
Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is designed for experienced carers who want more control than typical agency contracts offer. You remain self-employed: set your own rates, choose your clients and decide how far you’ll travel. We find the matches, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. Typical live-in pay is competitive — many carers on our site aim for £145–£160 per day depending on the client’s needs and location.
This work suits people who are comfortable living in someone else’s home, who can manage night support and planned breaks, and who bring at least one year of professional care experience. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll handle personal care, mobility support, meal planning, medication prompts and companionship; some placements include light household tasks related to the person you’re supporting.
Live-in placements are often found across Rutland and neighbouring towns such as Oakham, Corby, Stamford, Desborough, Market Harborough and Rothwell. Carers travel from other regions for these roles and find the additional continuity of care rewarding. PrimeCarers gives you the admin support so you can focus on care—contracts, invoices and payments are dealt with, and insurance is included while you work. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification.
