Live-in Carer Jobs in Havant

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with live-in opportunities in Havant and the surrounding area. These roles involve living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship while agreeing breaks and rest periods with the family.

Right now, 94 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work is different to shift-based care: you’ll be part of someone’s home life, help maintain routines, oversee medication prompts, prepare meals and provide company alongside personal care. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many placements are within easy reach of Havant and nearby towns. These roles suit carers who are comfortable being resident with a client and who want to work flexibly around agreed times for rest and breaks.

This platform is built for people who want to leave agency constraints behind. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates, choose which clients to work with, and decide your hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Pay varies by client and the level of care required. Typical ranges for live-in work and hourly care are shown on the platform so you can price fairly and competitively: £18.80–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160.50 per day for live-in days. Many carers on the site list rates within £145–£160.50 per day depending on experience and responsibilities.

The essentials to join are straightforward. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How it works in practice:

• Create a profile – tell us about your experience, upload references and DBS.
• Choose roles – review family requests around Havant, Emsworth, Waterlooville, Southsea, Portchester, Gosport and Fareham and beyond, and accept the placements that suit you.
• Set your terms – agree hours, breaks and pay directly with the family; PrimeCarers handles contracts and payments.

If you’re an experienced carer based in Hampshire or willing to travel for live-in placements, creating a profile takes only a few minutes and gives you control over the work you accept. Join PrimeCarers to find live-in roles around Havant where you can work more independently while still having the platform handle the paperwork and payments.
