Description
Live-in care means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. If you’re a confident, experienced carer who likes continuity and close working relationships, live-in placements around Kingsteignton can be hugely rewarding — many carers travel from across the country for these roles. Right now, 48 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you remain fully self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for live-in roles is shown as £145–£160 per day, with further detail available via £18.80–£24.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. You decide what works for you and which placements to accept.
These roles suit carers who want more control than agency work usually offers. Expect to support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, light household tasks and daytime or night-time waking support as agreed with the client. Live-in care often involves companionship and supporting daily routines as much as practical care, and many carers enjoy the stability of longer placements in and around Kingsteignton and nearby towns like Newton Abbot, Chudleigh, Teignmouth, Bovey Tracey, Dawlish and Torquay.
PrimeCarers makes it straightforward: we introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care, set your own terms and keep more of what you earn. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask you about your experience and availability during verification, and you remain free to accept or decline any placement.
If you’re used to agency routines but want more autonomy, live-in roles in Kingsteignton and across Devon offer a different pace and closer relationships with clients. Create your PrimeCarers profile, choose the live-in assignments that suit you, and take control of your working life without giving up on professional support.
