Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in St. Peters

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with ongoing live‑in roles in St. Peters and the surrounding Kent coast. Live‑in work means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and stay for as long as the client and carer agree. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, where you work and how much you charge. Typical pay for these roles is £145–£160.50 per day and you’ll see both hourly and live‑in day ranges such as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160.50 per day when you review profiles. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you spend less time on paperwork and more time caring.

Live‑in care suits experienced carers who value continuity of support and deeper relationships with the people they help. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meals, light domestic tasks and companionship, and you’ll work around the household’s daily patterns. Shifts are agreed between you and the client, including rest breaks and time off. St. Peters placements often include clients who want local continuity or visitors from nearby areas such as Broadstairs, Botany Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Westgate on Sea and Minster.

We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), and verifiable references. Because PrimeCarers represents self‑employed carers, you’re responsible for your own tax and National Insurance reporting — we don’t manage personal tax affairs — but we do make sure contracts and payments are clear and secure.

Leaving agency work? PrimeCarers is built for carers who want more control over hours, clients and pay while keeping the admin handled. You can set your own rates, accept only the placements that suit you, and travel for short- or long-term live‑in work if you choose. Many carers who start on PrimeCarers cover a wider area of Kent and beyond, including stays in St. Peters and neighbouring towns.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you want help with your DBS or guidance on setting rates, our team supports you through the process so you can focus on care.
