Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Hastings

Live-in care in Hastings means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements and work alongside families in and around Hastings, helping with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, mealtime support and household tasks day-to-day. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work gives. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates fall in the range £148–£165 per day and you can pick the arrangements that fit your life — short stays, long placements or ad-hoc cover. Carers who prefer to travel for live-in bookings often find Hastings and the surrounding East Sussex towns offer a range of different placements.

PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care while we manage the paperwork. You remain self-employed at all times and decide which requests to accept. Many carers who left agency rotas find this model gives clear boundaries, predictable breaks and the chance to build longer relationships with families.

What we ask to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Live-in work involves being present in someone’s home as their main day-to-day support, so we expect professionalism, respect for people’s homes and a clear approach to agreed rest breaks.
