Live-in Carer Jobs in Lyme Regis

Live-in Carer roles in Lyme Regis give experienced carers the chance to support someone in their own home, staying with a client and helping with daily routines, personal care and companionship while taking agreed breaks. These placements suit carers who prefer continuity of care and the deeper relationships that come from living on-site — many carers travel from across the country for live-in work in Lyme Regis.

Right now, 75 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer. You set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area; typical pay sits around £145–£160.50 per day. PrimeCarers finds matched families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. If you are used to agency rota pressure, this is a different way of working: more control, more consistency and clearer agreements about sleep, breaks and expectations.

Live-in shifts mean being present in the home to support morning and evening routines, medication prompts, meal support and companionship, with agreed rest breaks and private time during the day. Some placements are near Lyme Regis itself and others are in the surrounding Dorset and Devon towns such as Axminster, Colyton, Seaton, Bridport, Chard and Beaminster. Carers travel from elsewhere in the UK for longer placements, so distance is common and can work well if you want a change of scene.

To join PrimeCarers you need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent care work

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is live you can review enquiries, agree terms directly with families and accept the placements that suit you. We do not post single advertised roles here; instead we list ongoing opportunities across Lyme Regis and nearby towns so you can find the right match.

If you want to move away from rota unpredictability and build longer-term live-in work, creating your PrimeCarers profile is straightforward. Complete your details, upload references and DBS, and start seeing matches. Many carers find the £18.80–£22.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160.50 per day for live-in days a useful guideline when setting their rates.
