Live-in Carer Jobs in Lee on the Solent

Live-in care in Lee on the Solent means living alongside the people you support and helping with daily routines, personal care, companionship and household tasks during agreed hours and breaks. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, setting your own schedule and working patterns while offering continuity and a calm presence in someone’s home. Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing roles suit experienced carers who prefer predictable, relationship-based work rather than short shifts. Live-in assignments typically involve helping with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, companionship, meal preparation and light household duties — always within an agreed plan and with scheduled rest breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find Lee on the Solent a pleasant place to live while on-placement.

With PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area, and decide which offers to accept. Typical pay for care work is £145–£160.50 per day, and live-in day rates usually follow our live-in guidance such as £145–£160.50 per day with hourly references like £18.80–£20 per hour to help you compare options. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working so you can focus on care.

We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’re currently agency-based and want more control over the people you work with and the hours you do, this could be a good next step. Many carers based around Hampshire and nearby towns travel for placements or choose to work close to home in Lee on the Solent.
