Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Crawley

Looking for live‑in care work around Crawley that gives you real control over your time and pay? Live‑in carers live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and providing companionship and personal care around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and value the deeper relationships this work brings. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self‑employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits at £148–£165 per day, with further flexibility between £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £148–£165 per day for live‑in day rates depending on the client’s needs and your experience. If you want to move away from agency rotas or bank work, live‑in roles around Crawley and the surrounding towns can offer steadier, often longer placements and a chance to deliver truly person‑centred care.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who are comfortable living in someone else’s home, who can support medication prompts, personal care, meal routines, mobility assistance and provide companionship. You’ll be working closely with families and sometimes other visiting professionals, so good communication and clear boundaries matter. Many of our carers are from Crawley, Horley and nearby areas, and others travel from further afield to take particular placements in West Sussex.

PrimeCarers does the admin you don’t want: we introduce you to suitable clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. You remain self‑employed, so you manage your tax and reporting, but we support the practical parts of finding and keeping placements.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We check documents carefully to protect both carers and families. Applying takes minutes, and most profiles go live within days of verification — so you could be visible to families in and around Crawley quickly.

If you’re interested, create a profile, set the areas you’ll cover (many carers list Crawley plus Horley, Horsham, Cuckfield, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Reigate) and choose the kinds of live‑in work you prefer. There’s no single vacancy here — these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities you can pick from. When you’re ready to have more control over your care work and be supported with the admin, PrimeCarers can help you connect with families who need reliable, experienced live‑in carers.
