Description
Live‑in care means you live with the person you support in their own home in Peacehaven and help with daily routines, overnight needs and companionship. Placements involve round‑the‑clock presence with agreed breaks and time off; many carers travel here from across the country for these roles. Right now, 92 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits experienced carers who value continuity of care and want control over the work they accept. You’ll support personal care, meals, medication prompts, mobility and everyday tasks, and you’ll be the consistent face in someone’s home. Peacehaven offers a quieter coastal setting while nearby towns such as Telscombe, Newhaven, Seaford, Lewes, Brighton and Hove — and the larger hub of Brighton and Hove — mean you’re not far from shops, services and transport links.
PrimeCarers is built for self‑employed carers. You set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and select the live‑in placements that fit you. Typical live‑in roles are advertised at £145–£160 per day and you remain free to set the rate you want on your profile. We introduce you to families and handle the practical admin: contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you’re working.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need it).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- A willingness to live in the client’s home for the agreed period and to follow the agreed rest breaks and routines.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control, live‑in work through PrimeCarers can offer longer relationships with clients and clearer administration without the agency shift rota. You remain self‑employed, so you manage your tax and National Insurance as you prefer.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and request help with an Enhanced DBS if needed. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and our team will help match you to families in Peacehaven, Telscombe, Newhaven, Seaford and beyond. When a family expresses interest, PrimeCarers supports the contract and payments, so you can focus on care.
If you want steady, meaningful live‑in work where you choose the clients and set the terms, join PrimeCarers and see what live‑in roles in Peacehaven could look like for you.
