Live-in Carer Jobs in Alton

Live-in care in Alton means moving into a client’s home to support daily routines and provide presence around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal routines, companionship and household tasks so people can stay comfortable at home. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Alton and the surrounding area, bringing experience and stability to families. Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want to step away from agency restrictions and work directly with families. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with more detail often shown as £19–£22 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. You stay in control of your diary and breaks, and can accept placements that fit your travel plans and commitments.

Many placements are centred in and around Alton, with regular opportunities near Bordon, Whitehill, Farnham, Hook, New Alresford and Basingstoke and other Hampshire towns. Live-in roles require stamina, patience and good communication: you’ll be sharing a home, building trust and working closely with families and other professionals. Carers who enjoy steady relationships, quieter nights and the chance to make practical changes to someone’s life often find live-in work rewarding.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work on a placement. That means less admin for you and a clear agreement with each family. To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single job on this page — instead we list ongoing self-employed opportunities across Alton and Hampshire for carers ready to take control of their work.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and begin verification. Profiles typically go live within days of being checked, so you can start seeing live-in opportunities in Alton quickly. If you’re ready to work independently, keep standards high and build lasting client relationships, PrimeCarers can help you find the right match and manage the paperwork while you get on with caring.
