Live-in Carer Jobs in Beaminster

Live-in Carer Jobs in Beaminster are for experienced, self-employed carers who want control over their work and the chance to offer consistent, round-the-clock support to one household. You will live with a client in their home, help with daily routines, personal care and companionship, and take agreed breaks during the placement. Right now, 82 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements; you don’t need to be local to Beaminster to apply. Live-in roles suit people who prefer continuity of care, enjoy building stronger relationships, and want predictable living arrangements rather than shift swaps. Placements are common across West Dorset and the surrounding area, including Bridport, Crewkerne, South Petherton, Yeovil, Lyme Regis and Chard.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of role are £145–£160.50 per day. PrimeCarers takes care of the contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on providing great care.

Typical live-in duties include supporting morning and evening routines, prompting medication, helping with mobility and personal care, preparing light meals, and being a calm presence overnight. Every placement is different; you and the family agree a clear care plan and breaks before you start. Live-in work can be physically and emotionally rewarding, but it also needs patience, good boundaries and strong observational skills.

Who we’re looking for:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Reliable communication, respect for a family's home and the ability to manage agreed breaks.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your experience and references, and begin verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review family requests and choose the placements that suit you. PrimeCarers supports you with contracts, payments and insurance while you’re working, so you keep the flexibility of being self-employed without the admin hassle.
