Description
Live-in care in St Helier means living with a client in their home to support daily routines, companionship and personal care around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements because they suit people who prefer continuity of care and deeper relationships. You remain self-employed, choose your clients and set your own rates. Right now, 24 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
What the work involves: supporting morning and evening routines, assisting with mobility, medication prompts, meal preparation, light household tasks and companionship. Live-in care is about steadiness and presence rather than shift-driven visiting calls. Carers who enjoy a predictable, person-centred role and clear boundaries between work time and agreed breaks do best in these placements. St Helier’s community includes older homeowners and families who value continuity and local knowledge.
Pay and flexibility: as a PrimeCarers carer you decide your rate and your hours. Typical rates for roles in our network vary; many carers list within £150–£170 per day while others set higher for specialist support. For reference we also show £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £150–£170 per day for live-in day rates so you can price your service fairly. You choose which clients and which parts of St Helier and the surrounding area you’ll cover, and you can travel from elsewhere for a placement if that suits you.
PrimeCarers handles the admin side so you can focus on care. We find clients, draft contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less time chasing paperwork and more time delivering consistent, high-quality care in St Helier.
Who we’re looking for: carers with 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’ll need to be clear about your availability and the area you’ll serve — many of our live-in carers come from outside the island or nearby towns such as Portland, Swanage, Weymouth, Chickerell, Wareham and Salcombe to take placements.
How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes and you keep full control over your listing. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and our team supports you through checks and client introductions. If you’re an experienced carer in St Helier ready for more control, register with PrimeCarers and start choosing the live-in roles that suit you.
