Description
Live-in care in Chipping Sodbury means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, setting your own fees and choosing the placements that suit you. Many carers who join PrimeCarers find live-in placements pay well compared with on-call rota work and you’ll typically see listings from £145–£160 per day.
Right now, 112 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This is the kind of role that suits experienced, practical carers who want deeper relationships and more control over their working life. In Chipping Sodbury and across South Gloucestershire you might support someone with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and mobility assistance. Live-in work is varied: you’ll help keep routines comfortable, manage household basics around the client’s needs and be a steady presence overnight while taking agreed rest breaks.
PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to move away from agency constraints. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your rates, choose clients, hours and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical pay is shown as £19–£24 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates, though you set your own figure.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll also need basic ID and proof of qualifications if you have them. PrimeCarers will verify your documents; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Live-in placements often attract carers from outside the immediate area — many travel into Chipping Sodbury from nearby towns such as Yate, Wickwar, Bradley Stoke, Wotton under Edge, Kingswood and Woodhouse Park. If you’re comfortable travelling and providing consistent, person-centred support, live-in work can suit carers who want predictable routines and closer client relationships.
If you’re thinking about leaving agency shifts for steadier, more autonomous live-in roles in Chipping Sodbury, creating a PrimeCarers profile is simple. Sign up, upload your documents and references, pick the kinds of clients and days you’ll accept, and let us introduce you to families looking for self-employed live-in carers.
