Description
Live-in care with PrimeCarers means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. We connect experienced, self-employed carers with families in Whittlesey who want continuity and companionship as well as practical support. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many choose roles in and around Whittlesey because of the variety of needs and the sense of community.
Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.This work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. You choose your clients, hours and the service area you’ll accept. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates — typical pay is £145–£160 per day — and decide which live-in bookings fit their life. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care.
Live-in duties usually include help with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, mobility support, meal preparation, companionship and light household tasks. Days can be quieter than agency nights; agreed rest breaks are part of every placement. If you’re used to agency rounds but crave continuity and stronger relationships with the people you support, live-in work around Whittlesey could be a better fit.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers supports verification and paperwork so your profile can be visible quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Many of our live-in carers based in Cambridgeshire travel to placements or accept stays that suit their availability. You might find opportunities across Whittlesey and Ramsey, Crowland, March, Chatteris, The Deepings and Market Deeping. If you prefer local work, you can limit your service area; if you're open to travel, live-in placements can take you further afield.
We’re looking for professional, reliable carers who value clear agreements and respectful partnerships with families. If you’re ready to trade unpredictable rotas for closer relationships and the freedom to set your own terms, create a profile and start browsing live-in bookings today.
