Right now, 29 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want continuity of support and the chance to build real relationships. You’ll help with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, light household tasks and companionship, and you’ll be able to support a person’s independence in a stable home setting. Princetown’s pace and rural setting often attract clients who need steady, reliable live-in support.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this role are £149–£168.50 per day.

PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work—so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

You won’t be tied to one rota; many carers pick placements near Princetown and travel from towns like Tavistock, Buckfastleigh, Ashburton, Ivybridge, Chagford and Moretonhampstead or further afield. Working patterns vary: some live-ins are casual short stays, others last for several weeks or longer. All arrangements are agreed between you and the family before work begins, giving you the clarity to plan travel and breaks.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
