Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with live-in opportunities in Wixams and the wider Bedfordshire area. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. You set your own approach, and you set your own rates — typical roles are around £148–£163.50 per day for comparable work.
Right now, 123 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
What this work looks like: you’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and supporting routines so someone can stay independent at home. Live-in shifts are about consistent, personalised support rather than short visits. Breaks and time off are agreed with the family before you move in, and you keep control of where you accept work and for how long.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency contracts often allow. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references, you can apply. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers — you choose clients, hours and service area, and many carers who live in Kempston, Bedford, Ampthill, Flitwick, Shefford and Sandy also travel to Wixams for placements.
Pay and practicalities: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and decide which offers to accept. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Typical live-in day rates fall within £148–£163.50 per day, and for other care types you’ll see ranges like £19–£20 per hour. You remain self-employed and in control of your finances and schedule.
Getting started is quick. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is complete and your documents are checked, PrimeCarers will match you with families looking for live-in support in Wixams and nearby towns.
