Live-in Carer Jobs in Dawlish

Live-in care in Dawlish means being part of someone’s everyday life — supporting routines, mealtimes, medication prompts and companionship while living in the client’s home with agreed breaks. These roles suit experienced, reliable carers who want the continuity of one household and the chance to build real relationships rather than moving between short shifts. Right now, 65 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform connecting self-employed carers with families around Dawlish and beyond. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many of our live-in carers travel from across the country for placements in Dawlish, and we also list opportunities in nearby towns such as Teignmouth, Exmouth, Chudleigh, Kingsteignton, Topsham and Budleigh Salterton.

Live-in care involves being on-site with agreed rest breaks and a clear care plan. You’ll support daily routines, personal care, medication prompts, meal support and companionship, and you’ll work within boundaries set by the family and the care plan. These roles suit carers who are comfortable with continuity of care, good at managing their own time, and who prefer the autonomy of self-employment over agency shifts.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and can accept work that fits your preferences. Typical ranges for this kind of care are shown on the platform as £145–£160 per day. For further detail you may also see the typical hourly and live-in day ranges of £18.80–£23 per hour and £145–£160 per day on your profile once verified.

Who we’re looking for: at least one 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 do check these documents before your profile goes live so families can trust who they invite into their homes in Dawlish and elsewhere in Devon.

How to apply: the sign-up process takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify them — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can browse families, message them directly and decide which placements to accept. PrimeCarers manages the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care.
