Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in New Romney

Work as a self-employed live-in carer supporting people in their own homes around New Romney. Live-in care means you stay with a client, support daily routines and personal care, and take agreed breaks while the person you support remains at home. Carers travel from across the country for placements and bring compassion, experience and a calm head to 24/7 care. Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This type of work suits experienced carers who value continuity of care, strong relationships with clients and the independence of self-employment. Many people choose live-in roles because they allow deeper support for mobility, medication routines, evening and overnight reassurance, mealtime assistance and companionship. You’ll work alongside families and sometimes other carers to keep a person safe and comfortable in their own home in New Romney and the surrounding area.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates, choose your clients, the hours you’ll cover and the service area you’ll accept. Typical rates for similar roles are £148–£165 per day, with day and hourly ranges shown as £148–£165 per day and £19–£20 per hour for reference. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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 already have a DBS and good references, the verification process is quicker; if not, we’ll guide you through obtaining what you need.

New Romney sits close to communities such as Lydd, Hythe, Rye, Winchelsea, Ashford and Folkestone, so placements can involve short local travel or longer placements where carers come from further afield. Many carers who leave agency work tell us they value the control of setting their own rates and choosing only clients whose needs they’re comfortable meeting. PrimeCarers supports that freedom while handling the paperwork and payments that can weigh you down.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. We’ll match you to suitable live-in opportunities and connect you directly with families so you can decide which offers to accept. If you’re an experienced carer in Kent considering a move away from agency shifts, live-in work through PrimeCarers can offer purposeful, flexible, well-supported opportunities in and around New Romney.
