Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Sidmouth

PrimeCarers is connecting experienced, self‑employed carers with live‑in care opportunities in Sidmouth and the surrounding Devon coast. Live‑in roles mean you’ll be living with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for these placements and stay for as long as both sides prefer.
Right now, 81 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What live‑in work looks like: you help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and supporting routines such as dressing, mobility and daytime activities. Night support can be part of the role where needed. Breaks and time off are agreed in advance so you can rest and recharge while caring for someone in Sidmouth.

Pay and flexibility are yours to set — carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and choose their own rates, clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for roles in this area is £145–£160 per day; many carers think in hourly terms (£19.20–£25 per hour) or daily live‑in rates (£145–£160 per day) when deciding what to charge. You remain in control of how you work and when you accept bookings.

This work will suit you if you have at least a year of professional care experience, want to move away from agency shift routines, and enjoy building close, reliable relationships with the people you support. You'll meet clients in Sidmouth, but placements can also be found in nearby towns such as Budleigh Salterton, Ottery St Mary, Seaton, Colyton, Honiton and Exmouth.

To join PrimeCarers you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work. That means less admin and clearer agreements between you and the family.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, provide the required checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can browse live‑in opportunities, message families and accept bookings that suit your life and values.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to choose who you work with and how you get paid, consider live‑in care in Sidmouth with PrimeCarers. It’s practical, respectful and designed for carers who want independence and real connection in their work.
