Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Clevedon who need live-in support. Live-in work means you will be living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and being on hand around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area, and PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, invoicing, payments and provides insurance while you work.
Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in roles suit carers who want continuity of care and the chance to build real relationships. Many placements involve helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship — all within the agreed duties with the family. Some carers travel from across the country for live-in placements; others live locally in and around Clevedon. Whether you currently work with an agency or privately, PrimeCarers lets you keep control of your time and your work.
Pay and flexibility are handled your way: you set your rate and decide which clients to accept. Typical pay is £145–£160 per day for care work; for reference you may also see hourly roles listed as £18.80–£23 per hour and live-in day rates shown as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers does not promise specific hours or income — it advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities and helps match you to families looking for live-in care.
To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you need a DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. Before a profile goes live we verify references and eligibility. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Clevedon carers often cover nearby towns and villages — you can offer a service area that suits you and travel arrangements that work with a live-in placement. Families in North Somerset value reliable, experienced live-in carers who can provide consistent, person-centred support.
If you want more control over who you work with and the hours you do, PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers ready to work directly with families. Create your profile, choose the live-in opportunities that match your skills and lifestyle, and let PrimeCarers handle the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care.
Apply now — it takes minutes to start your profile and most carers are visible to families within days.

Tax is yours to sort out
