Job description

Join the thousands of self-employed live-in carers finding rewarding care work through Elder’s award-winning online platform.

Elder is expanding its Live In Care service! We’re looking for self-employed Live In Carers to join our platform.

You will work as a self-employed live-in carer providing personal care and household support to older people in their own homes. You will work on a self-employed basis, contracting directly with families. Elder introduces you to opportunities and provides platform support.

Providing personalised care, you’ll work directly with the customer to create a schedule everyone is happy with. Your assistance will help them to stay in control and independent for as long as possible and you’ll have plenty of time to provide meaningful support and form real connections.

(Carers must be available to live with clients both day and night for a minimum of 7 consecutive days to be eligible for this role)

Daily responsibilities will vary depending on your care recipient, but may include:

  • Personal care
  • Medication reminders
  • Welfare checks
  • Food shopping
  • Meal preparation
  • Mobility support
  • Companionship
  • Light gardening
  • Light housework
  • Pet care (optional)

Benefits:

  • Indicative earnings up to £865 per week, depending on experience, placement, and agreed responsibilities
  • Customers pay double pay on bank holidays.
  • Customers pay £50 weekly extra for using your own car OR £25 per week with a driving licence only.
  • Food expenses are covered by the family or a weekly allowance agreed directly with them.
  • All travel is reimbursed to and from your placement, including trains, flights, or mileage if you drive.
  • Your own private room on every placement.
  • Access to our dedicated support team to help you use the platform and manage placements.
  • Platform Support and Optional Benefits through our Carer Loyalty Programme from day one, supporting your health, wellbeing and finances — including Online GP, physiotherapy, sickness & compassionate leave, confidential counselling and more. (These are optional support services available through the platform and do not form part of an employment relationship.)
  • Free access to an external e-learning platform, helping you build confidence and develop specialist skills at your own pace.
  • You’re always in control — choose who you care for, when you work, and manage everything easily through our Elder Hub app.

Requirements:

  • Be able to work independently without manager supervision in the care recipient's home
  • Ability to commit to placements for a minimum of 7 nights in the Care Recipient's home
  • Have at least 6 months professional care experience
  • The ability to pass a background check (enhanced DBS in England and Wales, or a PVG in Scotland)
  • The ability to provide 2 professional references that Elder can verify
  • A good level of spoken English
  • Right to work as self-employed in the UK (unfortunately, no Student/Skilled worker visas)

How to Apply:

We’ve made applying easy. Our simple online application form can be completed in minutes, and all of our onboarding process is fully remote via an introductory call, and will be arranged at a time that suits you.

Job Type: All roles are Full-time; either on a Permanent or Fixed-length contract, depending on the placement.

Pay: Up to £865.00 per week

Rates of up to £865 per week are available for carers who meet the minimum requirements above, including at least 6 months’ professional care experience and relevant skills for the placement

Work Location: In person
