Description
Live-in care in Devizes means living with a client in their own home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Placements can be short- or long-term, and many carers travel from across the country for live-in work in and around Devizes and Wiltshire. Working this way suits experienced, confident carers who want continuity of care, deeper relationships and more control over their working life.
Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families so you can choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. You set your own rates and decide which offers to accept. Typical rates for roles like this are £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, drawing up contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than admin.
Live-in work usually includes personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, mobility support and household checks. You’ll support daily routines, nights and mornings, and take agreed rest breaks away from the client’s home. Many live-in carers travel for placements and stay for the agreed length, so good organisation, stamina and respect for the client’s home are essential.
This way of working is ideal for experienced carers who want to leave agency constraints behind. If you value continuity, building meaningful relationships and planning your own diary, live-in roles around Devizes can be very rewarding. You remain self-employed: you invoice for your time, set your rate and manage your own tax and National Insurance arrangements.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly — applying takes minutes and most profiles appear within days of checks being complete.
Placements become available across Devizes and nearby towns such as Calne, Melksham, Chippenham, Trowbridge, Corsham and Westbury. If you’re ready to take more control of your care work while staying supported by a platform that handles clients, contracts and payments, creating a profile is the next step. You choose the roles you take, arrange your breaks and agree the day-to-day tasks with each client before you start.
Apply in minutes, set your own rates and pick the live-in opportunities that fit your life. We’re here to help you make the transition from agency work to self-employed live-in care, with practical support every step of the way.
