Description

Live-in care in Wombwell gives experienced carers the chance to build deeper relationships and offer continuity of support in someone's own home. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you'll live with a client, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, while keeping control over the work you accept. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Right now, 68 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who value long stretches of continuity and the chance to support all aspects of daily life — from personal care and medication prompts to meal-times, companionship and supporting household routines. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, including to towns around Wombwell such as Hoyland, Wath upon Dearne, Over Woodhouse, Barnsley, Brierley and Mexborough. Many placements are in Wombwell itself or elsewhere across South Yorkshire.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Typical bookings on PrimeCarers are within £145–£160 per day. You set your own rates, decide which clients you’ll work with and agree hours and breaks directly with the family. For reference, carers often see different figures for hourly work (£18.80–£20 per hour) and for a live-in day (£145–£160 per day), depending on the level of care and responsibilities agreed.

PrimeCarers makes the practical side straightforward: we introduce you to families, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working on a placement. That means less admin for you and more time delivering care where it matters.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify these quickly, so your profile can usually go live within days. If you’re used to agency work but want more control over your rates, rota and clients, this kind of self-employed live-in role can be a straightforward next step.

Applying is quick and straightforward — it takes minutes to create a profile and upload a few documents. Once verified, families in and around Wombwell can see your profile and invite you to discuss placements. If you want reliable continuity, to choose your work, and to be supported with contracts and payments, consider live-in care through PrimeCarers in Wombwell.
