Description

Live-in care with PrimeCarers means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication prompts and help people stay independent in their own homes across Norton Radstock and the surrounding area. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and we help make that straightforward for you.

Right now, 99 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. In Norton Radstock you’ll often support older people with mobility needs, dementia or long-term conditions, and you’ll be expected to manage household routines, light meal preparation and record-keeping alongside direct care. Live-in shifts are full‑time in the sense of living at the address, but you agree a pattern of awake and sleeping hours and regular, contracted breaks.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for live-in work are shown as £145–£160 per day. You can also compare hourly and day ranges when considering roles (see £19–£24 per hour and £145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work. That means less admin for you and clearer, faster payments.

Requirements to join

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

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and tell us about your experience. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and our team will introduce you to suitable families in Bath and North East Somerset and beyond.
