Description
Live-in care assistants based in and around Bath provide round-the-clock, one-to-one support by living with a client in their own home and helping with daily routines, companionship and personal care as agreed. Placements often include agreed breaks and sleep-in arrangements; many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Bath and the surrounding area. Right now, 117 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and take control of their working life in Bath and North East Somerset. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates within a typical range of £145–£160 per day. Live-in days and hourly shifts both feature across our adverts, so you can pick the pattern that fits your life.
Pay and flexibility are straightforward. Many carers advertise within £19–£24 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days, but with PrimeCarers you decide the final figure. Our platform finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you keep the freedom without having to manage every admin detail.
We ask that you already have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help if you need to arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list a single role here; instead this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Bath and North East Somerset for carers ready to take on live-in work.
Live-in placements are available in Bath and nearby towns such as Bradford on Avon, Keynsham, Radstock, Trowbridge, Norton Radstock and Corsham. Travel for placements is common; some carers relocate temporarily for long stays, others travel back between visits. If you’re used to working independently, enjoy close working relationships with clients and want predictable, sustainable engagement, live-in care could be a good fit.
