Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Patchway

PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with ongoing live-in care opportunities in Patchway and the surrounding South Gloucestershire area. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country to take these placements. You set your own approach, rates and availability, and PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who want predictable, one-to-one work without agency rotas. You’ll support things like personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance and companionship, plus household tasks relevant to the client’s day-to-day needs. Live-in shifts often involve sleep-in periods and planned breaks; exact arrangements are agreed between you and each family.

Patchway placements attract carers who prefer continuity of care and the chance to build strong relationships. Many of our live-in carers travel from towns including Bradley Stoke, Filton, Woodhouse Park, Thornbury, Kingswood and Yate to take placements in Patchway and nearby towns across South Gloucestershire. This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity stream, not a one-off post — you can choose which clients and lengths of placement suit you.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical live-in opportunities fall within £145–£160 per day depending on experience and the client’s needs. You also control which hours and service area you’ll accept; PrimeCarers makes payments straightforward and handles invoicing so you don’t have to chase fees.

Requirements to join are practical and straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We do check these before your profile goes live to families.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Once you submit your details and references, verification usually completes quickly and profiles typically go live within days. After that you can browse and choose live-in placements, communicate directly with families and accept work that fits your life.

If you want the continuity and rewards of live-in care without agency rotas, Patchway has steady demand and supportive families. Join PrimeCarers to keep control of your work, get help with contracts and payments, and be insured while you care.
