Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Wallingford

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Wallingford who need live-in support. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks during the day. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and choose how long they stay. Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles often involve personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and helping to keep a familiar routine at home. You’ll become part of a household rhythm rather than working shifts in a setting. If you prefer continuity, close rapport with a person and the chance to shape day-to-day care, live-in work around Wallingford can be very rewarding. Wallingford sits close to other communities, so clients also come from nearby towns such as Didcot, Watlington, Abingdon, Cowley, Henley on Thames and Oxford and across Oxfordshire.

On PrimeCarers you stay self-employed: you set your own rate, choose your clients, hours and the area you’re prepared to travel to. Typical pay falls in £145–£161 per day for care roles; for reference the platform also displays £19–£22 per hour for hourly placements and £145–£161 per day for day-style live-in rates so you can compare options. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, raises invoices and handles payments for you, and includes insurance while you are working.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We ask for clear documentation during verification so families can feel confident. Many carers switching from agency work value the control and clarity of choosing their own assignments through the platform.

Applying takes minutes online. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and complete verification. Profiles normally go live within days of verification, after which families can view your profile and invite you to discuss placements. You remain free to accept or decline any assignment.
