Description
Live-in care in Yarm means living with someone in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household support — all with the privacy and continuity that comes from staying in one place. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find the pace and relationship-based work rewarding.
Right now, 16 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than traditional agency life. You’ll be self-employed, choose the clients you work with, set your own rates and decide your hours and service area. Typical pay varies by client and need: many carers consider £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly support or £145–£160 per day for live-in days; overall ranges are often shown as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds suitable families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
We’re looking for carers who already have practical experience and the right checks in place. To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references from recent roles

Placements vary in length and complexity; some are short-term while others are ongoing arrangements. You won’t be tied to one pattern — you negotiate hours and agreed breaks with the family before you start.
Applying takes minutes and creating your profile is straightforward. Your details are verified and, once checks are complete, profiles typically go live within days. PrimeCarers supports the contracting side, so once you’re matched you agree terms directly with the family and PrimeCarers takes care of the rest.
