Description
Live-in care in Edenbridge means being a steady, familiar presence in someone’s home — supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship while living with the client and taking agreed breaks. Many carers travel in for placements and stay for weeks or months, bringing continuity that really matters to families in Edenbridge and the surrounding area.
Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Typical live-in roles involve helping with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, mealtime support, mobility assistance and being available overnight if needed. This kind of work suits experienced, compassionate carers who value quieter, relationship-led care and the predictability of living in one home rather than multiple short shifts.
Pay and flexibility: as a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates — typical ranges are £148–£165 per day. You’ll often see pay shown as £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly work and £148–£165 per day for live-in day rates, but you decide what to charge for each placement. You also choose your clients, hours and the area you cover.
PrimeCarers supports you administratively: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork.
Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’re coming from agency work, self-employment on our platform gives you more control over rates and hours without having to manage every contract alone.
Many of the live-in opportunities we list are in and around Edenbridge — you’ll also find placements close to Westerham, East Grinstead, Sundridge, Sevenoaks, Aperfield and Beltchingley, and across Kent. You can travel in from other parts of the UK for live-in roles if that suits you.
How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes and you set out your experience, certificates and preferences. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests and accept placements that fit your needs and schedule.
If you want steady, relationship-based live-in work in Edenbridge with administrative support and the freedom to set your own terms, PrimeCarers is built for carers like you.
