Description
Live-in care roles in Egham suit experienced, practical carers who prefer to be the person families rely on day and night. On PrimeCarers you’ll live in with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and providing companionship and practical care around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and set their own boundaries about breaks and time off.
Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical rates for these kinds of roles are in the range £145–£160 per day. We connect you with families in and around Egham and Surrey, and you decide which proposals to accept. Live-in roles often suit carers who like continuity, building relationships and being part of a household routine.
PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed and free to choose when and where you work — whether that’s an evening start after travel or a longer live-in placement.
This kind of work suits carers who have practical experience, patience and the confidence to manage daily living tasks, medication reminders, short-term personal care and companionship. Live-in care can include gentle support with mobility, meal preparation, household tasks and being on hand for reassurance overnight. Carers travelling into Egham often report the rewards of steady routines and close collaboration with the family.
