Description

Live-in care in Broadstairs means living with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. These roles suit carers who want continuity of care and the chance to build real relationships with the people they support. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for weeks or months at a time. Right now, 84 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer, so you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly patterns also often expressed as £145–£160 per day for live-in days and £19–£20 per hour for hourly care. How much you earn depends on the hours you agree with a client and the tasks involved; PrimeCarers does not set your rate for you.

We find clients for you and handle the practical side: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of by PrimeCarers, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. If you need an Enhanced DBS check, we can help arrange that as part of joining.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can assist), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be self-employed, so you’ll manage your tax and NI responsibilities yourself, but PrimeCarers supports you at every step from the first enquiry to the first invoice.

These roles suit experienced carers who are used to agency work but want more control over where they work and who they support. Live-in posts in Broadstairs give you the space to deliver person-centred care and to shape daily routines with the client and their family. Placements are available in and around Broadstairs and across Kent, including nearby towns such as St. Peters, Ramsgate, Botany Bay, Margate, Westgate on Sea and Minster.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your references and any DBS certificate, then complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you can start reviewing matches as soon as you’re approved. There’s no single employer to join — PrimeCarers connects you directly with families who want the kind of continuity only live-in care can provide.

If you’re ready to take more control of your work, set your own hours and bring your experience to people who value continuity and kindness in Broadstairs, create your profile today and see the live-in opportunities available to you.
