Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Botany Bay who need live‑in support. Live‑in work means you’ll be living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and providing companionship and practical care around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, and many find the continuity of living with a client deeply rewarding. Right now, 82 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own terms: you decide your own clients, hours and service area and you set your own rates. Typical pay sits around £145–£160.50 per day and many carers reference £19–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160.50 per day for day‑rates when comparing roles. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you keep control of the care you provide without getting bogged down in admin.

Live‑in work in Botany Bay and around Kent suits carers who want deeper relationships with the people they support and who can offer reliable, flexible presence overnight and through the day with agreed breaks. You’ll be supporting daily routines, medication prompts, meal preparation, personal care and companionship. Some placements are short drive from the coast and local towns — families we work with are often around St. Peters, Broadstairs, Margate, Ramsgate, Westgate on Sea and Minster — so being willing to travel for the right placement opens more options.

PrimeCarers is designed for carers who are ready to move away from traditional agency constraints. You remain self‑employed, set your own hours and say yes or no to each placement. The platform looks after the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We verify references and checks quickly so you can be matched to families in Botany Bay and nearby towns as soon as possible.

If you’re an experienced carer considering a change from agency routines, PrimeCarers offers flexible, ongoing live‑in opportunities in Botany Bay and across Kent. Create your profile in minutes, choose the placements that suit you, and let us handle contracts, invoicing and insurance while you focus on great care.
