Description

Work as a live-in carer in Esher and surrounding Surrey communities, staying in a client’s home to support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll be working directly with families as a self-employed carer, choosing who you work with and when. PrimeCarers handles client-finding, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Right now, 113 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care with PrimeCarers is practical and flexible. You sleep at the client’s home and provide ongoing support: personal care, medication prompts, mealtime assistance, companionship, mobility support and household routines. Shifts are agreed in advance so you know the pattern of support and your planned breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you can accept roles in Esher or nearby towns such as Walton on Thames, Malden Rushett, Chessington, Hampton, Surbiton and Berrylands.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer stable, relationship-based support over short visits — people who want to build a routine with one family, enjoy companionship and take professional responsibility for day-to-day care in someone’s home. If you’re used to agency work but want more control over the clients you accept, live-in placements offer continuity and a calmer, more personal way of working in Esher and Surrey.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay varies by client and location, but many set rates in the range of £145–£160 per day. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and can accept only the placements that suit your needs.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. We verify references and documents so profiles go live quickly — applying takes minutes and verified profiles typically appear within days.

PrimeCarers removes administrative friction: we introduce you to families, take care of contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re carrying out agreed work. You remain self-employed, setting your own terms and choosing the placements you want. If you’re ready to choose the clients and hours that suit your life, create your profile and start seeing live-in care opportunities in Esher today.
