Description
Live-in care in Kingsbridge 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 for placements here in Devon, staying with clients for weeks at a time or longer, and offering companionship, personal care, medication support and household help as agreed.Right now, 39 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity rather than a single post. You choose who you work with, where you travel and how long you stay. You set your own rates and can expect typical ranges of £145–£165.50 per day depending on the role and location. Typical hourly and live-in guidance is shown as £18.80–£21.50 per hour and £145–£165.50 per day.
Who this suits: experienced care assistants looking to move away from agency rotas and regain control. Live-in roles suit carers who are comfortable building relationships, managing day-to-day routines, and staying overnight while taking agreed breaks. You’ll be in and around Kingsbridge and may travel to nearby towns such as Sherford, Salcombe, Modbury, Ivybridge, Dartmouth and Totnes.
What PrimeCarers handles: we introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. That means you can focus on delivering great care and maintaining professional boundaries without administrivia piling up.
Minimum requirements to join are practical and straightforward:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
How pay and hours work: you set the rate for your profile, choose your clients and agree hours directly. Many carers use the platform to offer live-in day rates or hourly packages, and you remain fully self-employed throughout. Remember that placements differ, so discussions about duties, breaks and expenses happen with each family before you accept.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit the checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families can contact you to discuss placements and dates. If you’re already doing live-in care or you’re ready to start travelling for placements, this route gives you flexibility, clearer pay control and the backing of a service that manages contracts and payments.
