Description

Live-in care in Midsomer Norton means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, taking agreed breaks. These roles suit experienced, practical carers who want deeper relationships, consistency and the freedom to manage their working day. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many people choose to base themselves temporarily in Midsomer Norton while they work in the area.
Right now, 123 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is £19–£24 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. Many carers in and around Midsomer Norton move away from agency rotas because they want more control, clearer paperwork and the chance to work long-term with one person or couple.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You won’t need to chase paperwork or billing — PrimeCarers will support those administrative tasks so you can focus on care. You can accept live-in placements in Midsomer Norton, nearby towns such as Norton Radstock, Radstock, Shepton Mallet, Frome, Bath and Wells, and across Bath and North East Somerset.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who are confident working independently, building routines, supporting personal care, medication prompts and companionship, and handling household basics in a client’s home. Live-in work often requires discretion, stamina and a flexible approach to day-to-day life.

To join you need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check experience and references before your profile goes live. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — ideal if you’re ready to move from agency-style shifts to a self-employed live-in role based in Midsomer Norton.

Practicalities: you remain self-employed, choose when and where to travel, and negotiate the length of placements and agreed breaks with clients. Many carers travel from other regions to take live-in roles; others already in the area prefer longer-term local placements. If you're thinking about leaving agency work for more autonomy and closer relationships, PrimeCarers makes the paperwork straightforward and protects your time with included insurance and clear contracts.
