Live-in Carer Jobs in Glastonbury

Live-in care in Glastonbury means being based in a client's home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experienced, steady support to people who prefer to stay in their own houses. You’ll be working in and around Glastonbury and nearby communities such as Street, Wells, Somerton, Shepton Mallet, Langport and Castle Cary while remaining self-employed and in control of how you work. Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for these roles sits within £145–£160 per day. You’ll also see assignments referenced by typical ranges like £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly shifts and £145–£160 per day for day rates on live-in placements so you can compare options before you agree to a placement.

PrimeCarers does the behind-the-scenes tasks: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means less admin for you and clearer arrangements with the family you’ll be supporting. You remain self-employed throughout every placement and free to accept or decline offers.

To join you’ll need 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. These checks protect you and the people you support, and they’re part of the quick verification we run before profiles go live.

Live-in roles suit experienced carers who want consistency and the deeper relationships that come from daily life with a client. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over work patterns, take-home pay and the people you work with, live-in placements across Glastonbury and wider Somerset can be a good fit. Carers should be comfortable managing household routines, medication prompts and providing companionship, while taking their agreed rest breaks.

Applying takes minutes — you build a profile, upload references and ID, and we verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review enquiries and choose which clients to contact.
