Description

Are you an experienced carer who wants to move away from agency rota pressures and work on your own terms in Stonehouse and the surrounding area? Live-in care with PrimeCarers means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, while remaining self-employed and in control of who you work with and when. Right now, 122 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements suit carers who enjoy building deep, consistent relationships, who can manage household routines and personal care, and who are comfortable travelling to a placement and staying for agreed periods. Carers travel from across the country for many of our live-in roles, so experience, flexibility and reliable references are valuable. You’ll support things like personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance and companionship, while helping keep the client safe and comfortable at home in Stonehouse, and sometimes across Gloucestershire.

Pay and flexibility are at the heart of this model: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for this kind of role is around £147.50–£163.50 per day for hourly care, and live-in day rates vary by placement. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care. You decide which offers to accept and when to travel for a placement.

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. We cover Stonehouse and the nearby towns of Eastington, Stroud, Nailsworth, Painswick, Minchinhampton and Dursley, supporting carers who want a sustainable, people-focused way of working while staying self-employed.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. If you’re used to agency life but want clearer control over hours, rates and the people you support, live-in care via PrimeCarers could be the next step. Create your profile, complete checks and start seeing suitable matches; you remain free to accept only the placements that suit you and your life.
