Description

Live-in care in Winslow offers experienced carers a chance to work closely with one person in their own home, supporting daily routines, companionship and practical help while living on site with agreed breaks. Roles like these suit people who want deeper relationships, consistent days and the freedom of self-employed work in and around Winslow, Buckinghamshire. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in care assistant you'll support a client with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and meaningful companionship. You will live with the client in their home and provide care around the clock, taking agreed breaks and time away as arranged. Typical duties include:

  • helping with morning and evening routines
  • supporting medication prompts and health appointments
  • providing companionship, stimulation and emotional support
  • light household tasks linked to the person's care

This work suits carers who value continuity and who are comfortable travelling for placements — many carers come from across the country for live-in roles. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates fall around £145–£160 per day, with day-based live-in roles commonly shown as £145–£160 per day and hourly care listed as £19–£21.50 per hour. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You should be ready to live with a client and able to travel for placements across the region and beyond — many roles are near towns such as Buckingham, Bletchley, Fenny Stratford, Stony Stratford, Wolverton and Greenleys and Linslade. We welcome experienced carers who are thinking about leaving agency work and want more control over where and how they work.

Creating a PrimeCarers profile is quick: complete your details, upload documents and tell us the sort of live-in placements you prefer. Once verified you can set your rates, review client requests and accept the placements that fit your life. If you want flexible, person-centred live-in care work in Winslow and the wider Buckinghamshire area, join PrimeCarers and keep the control — both of your schedule and your pay — where it belongs: with you.
