Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Hailsham

Live-in care roles in Hailsham mean living in a client’s home and supporting daily routines — personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and practical help — with agreed breaks so you can rest. Many carers travel from across the country for placements and stay in East Sussex while they work.

Right now, 102 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you have at least a year of professional care experience and you’re thinking of moving away from agency work, these ongoing self-employed roles put you in control. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their own clients, hours and service area. Many set rates within £145–£160 per day while agreeing terms directly with families around Hailsham and nearby towns such as Polegate, Eastbourne, Heathfield, Seven Sisters, Seaford and Bexhill on Sea.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. We can also help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help with this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Two verifiable references

Live-in work is different to shifts at a care home. You’ll be a constant, trusted presence in someone’s life, supporting routines across mornings, evenings and nights with agreed breaks. Practical tasks often include personal care, routine medicines, light household tasks and companionship. Day rates for live-in care typically range from £145–£160 per day, while occasional hourly care or waking nights use the £19–£20.50 per hour band — exact terms are set between you and the family.

Applying takes minutes and you stay in charge: you choose which client offers to accept, and you set the hours and service area you’ll cover. Profiles usually go live within days of verification, and PrimeCarers handles payments and paperwork so travel and invoicing are simple. Many carers enjoy the deeper relationships and continuity live-in roles bring in and around Hailsham.
