Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Steyning

Live-in care roles in Steyning give experienced carers the chance to live with a client in their own home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements, bringing continuity and specialist experience to families across Steyning and the surrounding area in West Sussex. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you take and your service area. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates — typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on experience and duties — and you can see typical hourly and live-in ranges too: £18.80–£21 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

What live-in work actually looks like varies. Many placements involve getting to know a household, helping with morning and evening routines, supporting mobility and medication prompts, preparing meals, and offering companionship. You will live in the client’s home, provide care through the day and night as agreed, and take regular, planned breaks. Live-in carers often work with families in Steyning who want steady, familiar support rather than rotating shifts.

This kind of role suits experienced, dependable carers who value deeper relationships with clients and prefer predictable, concentrated work. It’s a good next step if you’re considering moving away from agency shifts: you’ll keep flexibility while staying self-employed and in control of your working life.

PrimeCarers support: we find clients for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a placement, and we help with the checks you need to join. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once verification is complete.

• Requirements to join: at least one year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this);
• The right to work in the UK; and
• Verifiable references.

If you already work in care in Steyning, or travel in from nearby towns such as Shoreham by Sea, Worthing, Southwick, Hove, Brighton and Burgess Hill, PrimeCarers can help you find placements that fit your life. Creating a profile is quick, you stay self-employed and in control, and we handle the paperwork so you can focus on caring.
