Live-in Carer Jobs in Shanklin

Live-in care in Shanklin means you’ll be living with one client in their home, supporting daily routines and offering around-the-clock assistance with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal support and companionship while respecting each person’s household and routines. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring valuable experience to households on the Isle of Wight. Right now, 95 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced, caring professionals who want more control than agency work offers. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls within £145–£160.50 per day depending on responsibilities and experience. For reference, typical daytime hourly care sits around £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates are usually within £145–£160.50 per day.

PrimeCarers finds suitable clients so you can focus on care. We handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payment processing, and provide insurance while you work. You remain in charge of your working pattern — you agree breaks and time away with each client, and you can accept or decline placements that don’t fit your needs. Many of our carers in and near Shanklin also cover local areas including Sandown, Ventnor, Brading, Ryde, East Cowes and Cowes.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You must be self-employed and comfortable managing your own tax and admin or working with an accountant. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families quickly.

If you’re thinking about moving away from agency life but want continued support with clients and paperwork, PrimeCarers offers a practical alternative. Live-in roles in Shanklin and across the Isle of Wight can suit carers who enjoy building longer-term, one-to-one relationships and who want predictable routines without agency rota pressures.

To apply, create your profile, upload references and DBS details (or request our help arranging checks) and tell families about your approach to care. We review profiles promptly and will be in touch to verify your paperwork. Many carers find their first client within days — if you’re ready for more autonomy and meaningful work in Shanklin, start your profile today.
