We are an introduction and administrative platform that connects independent carers with families across Bradford and the wider West Yorkshire area who need dedicated live-in support at home.

About live-in care work
Live-in care is a deeply personal form of support where you, as an independent carer, move into your client's home in Bradford and provide round-the-clock assistance. You become part of their daily life — helping with personal care, cooking meals they enjoy, reminding them about medication, offering companionship, and supporting their independence. The relationship you build with your client and their family is the foundation of good live-in care. Many carers tell us that this continuity — truly knowing the person you care for — is what sets live-in work apart from other care roles.
Opportunities in Bradford
The demand for independent live-in carers in Bradford remains strong. Families across West Yorkshire are looking for experienced carers who can provide compassionate, reliable support at home. Placements vary: some involve caring for a single elderly person, others for couples with differing care needs, and some for individuals with specific conditions such as dementia or mobility challenges. The variety of placements available means you can choose work that matches your skills, experience and personal preferences.
Pay and flexibility
One of the key benefits of working as an independent live-in carer through CareNow Live-In is the flexibility it offers. You are self-employed, which means you choose your placements, set your availability, and manage your own schedule. Placements are paid weekly, and rates vary depending on experience and placement type. There are no fixed hours, no zero-hour contracts, and no agency restrictions. CareNow Live-In provides invoicing and administrative support to simplify the business side of things, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best — caring for people.
