Live-in Carer Jobs in Wadebridge

Live-in care in Wadebridge means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, meal routines, companionship, medication prompts and night checks when needed. Placements often attract carers who travel from across the country for a few weeks or months at a time and who like the continuity of being with the same person. Right now, 16 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control, this is set up for experienced, self-employed carers. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the service area you cover. Many carers active here pick work in and around Wadebridge and nearby towns such as Padstow, Bodmin, St Columb Major, Camelford, Lostwithiel and St Blazey. PrimeCarers introduces you to families and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care.

Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates — typical work ranges are £148–£170 per day. Live-in roles are paid by the day and you set what you charge within your advertised rate. PrimeCarers also manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you’re working on a placement. If you want to continue travelling to placements across Cornwall and beyond, the platform supports that freedom.

To join you’ll 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. You’ll live with a client in their home, agree a pattern of work and breaks, and maintain professional boundaries while delivering consistent care. Many carers who move from shift-based agency work find the continuity and rapport of live-in care very rewarding.

Applying takes just minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and complete the verification steps — profiles typically go live within days of verification.
