Description

If you’re an experienced carer who can live with a client and support daily routines around the clock, PrimeCarers connects you with self-employed live-in work in North Petherton and the surrounding area. Live-in care means being resident in someone’s home, helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and companionship, with agreed breaks scheduled into each placement. Carers often travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay as long as both carer and family prefer.

Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits carers who value continuity of care and who want to work more independently than through an agency. As a PrimeCarers member you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and you’re free to accept only the placements that fit your needs. Typical pay and hourly expectations vary, but many carers on the platform advertise within £145–£160 per day and can also set day rates for live-in arrangements using £145–£160 per day or hourly arrangements using £18.50–£20 per hour depending on what they prefer.

PrimeCarers supports you with the practical side: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means you can concentrate on the care relationship and day-to-day needs. You remain self-employed and in control of how you work, with the platform taking care of the admin that usually slows people down.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check these quickly so your profile can go live fast once verified.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify everything — profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Somerset or nearby towns such as Bridgwater, Taunton, Langport, Highbridge, Kilton and Burnham on Sea, or you’re happy to travel for placements, you’ll find ongoing opportunities for live-in work in and around North Petherton.

If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and want to shape the way you care, set up your PrimeCarers profile today, choose the live-in placements that suit you, and keep control over your hours and rates while we handle the rest.
