Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Selsey and the surrounding coastal communities. Live-in care means you stay with a client in their home, supporting daily life around the clock with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and choose roles that fit their own preferences. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in care in Selsey involves practical support and companionship: helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal routines, mobility and keeping a safe, familiar environment. You’ll work closely with the family and the person you support to agree routines and regular breaks. This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy building trusting relationships and prefer the continuity of supporting one person in their own home.
PrimeCarers is built for people tired of agency constraints. You are self-employed, so you set your own rates and decide which clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay for roles on the platform is £145–£160 per day. We handle the paperwork — finding clients, arranging contracts, invoicing and payments — and provide insurance while you work. Carers still control their diary and take agreed breaks during live-in placements.
To join, you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help you arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We welcome carers who already work in West Sussex and those willing to travel for live-in postings. You may find placements across Selsey and nearby towns such as Bognor Regis, Chichester, Woodgate, Emsworth, Havant and Littlehampton.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload references and relevant checks, and once verified your profile usually goes live within days. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with clear contracts, regular invoicing and straightforward payments so you can spend more time caring and less time doing admin. If you’re ready to consider a different way of working in Selsey and across West Sussex, setting your own terms while keeping the security of contract and insurance support, this platform is designed for you.
How to apply: Click to start your profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll guide you through the checks. Most carers are on the platform within days and begin connecting with families soon after.
