Description

Live-in care in Amesbury means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. On PrimeCarers you’ll find ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Amesbury and the surrounding areas. Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually offers. Live-in placements involve being present in a client’s home to help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship — with agreed rest breaks throughout the day. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many find the continuity of a live-in role rewarding both professionally and personally.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with separate guidelines for hourly-care and whole-day live-in work such as £19–£21.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

If you’re based in Amesbury or willing to travel in Wiltshire, you could be matched with families nearby — many of our carers work around Tidworth, Salisbury, Wilton, Ludgershall, Andover and Tisbury. We advertise ongoing roles rather than a single job, so you can look for placements that fit your lifestyle and commitments.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check. (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have one.)
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll start verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which you can review and choose client requests that suit you. When a match is agreed PrimeCarers supports the contract and payment process so you’re covered from day one of a placement.

If you’re a caring, professional live-in carer ready to move away from the limits of agencies and take more control over your work in Amesbury and Wiltshire, PrimeCarers makes the transition straightforward. Set your own terms, pick the placements that fit your life, and keep delivering the kind of care you’re proud of.
