As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical pay for live-in work varies by client needs and experience, but many carers on the platform see rates in the region of £145–£160 per day for hourly care. Live-in roles often attract different day rates and arrangements; you’ll agree those directly with the family before you travel.

Live-in care suits experienced carers who value continuity, privacy and building a real relationship with the person they support. You’ll be helping with familiar tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, mealtime support, mobility and companionship. You should be comfortable working independently in someone’s home and able to manage your agreed breaks and responsibilities professionally. Many carers who move from agency work enjoy the greater control and closer bonds that live-in roles in Cuckfield bring.

PrimeCarers handles the client-matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We’ll walk you through verification so your profile can go live within days.
