Description
Live‑in care in Reigate offers experienced carers the chance to provide steady, one‑to‑one support while living in a client’s home. You’ll help with daily routines, medication prompts, personal care and companionship, and be on hand around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and choose Reigate or surrounding areas for short‑ or long‑term stays.
Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families in Reigate and Surrey who need reliable live‑in support. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates. You choose the clients you work with, the hours you offer and the geographical area you cover — whether you prefer to stay local in Reigate or travel to Redhill, Beltchingley, Horley, Dorking, Old Coulsdon and Coulsdon and beyond.
Typical pay varies by client need and your experience; many carers charge within £146–£163.50 per day. Some bookings are agreed as hourly shifts (see £19–£21.50 per hour) and many live‑in roles use a day rate (see £146–£163.50 per day) that reflects sleep‑in arrangements and breaks. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client.
This kind of work suits experienced, confident carers who value continuity and meaningful relationships. Live‑in care asks for emotional resilience, good boundaries and practical skills — from personal care and medication management to household tasks and keeping a client safe and engaged. You’ll be the main carer in the home, working closely with families and other professionals where needed.
- Requirements to join: 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.
- Flexibility: set your own availability, accept or decline offers and agree breaks before each placement.
- Support: PrimeCarers deals with contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.
