Description
Live-in care in Stroud gives experienced carers the chance to support someone at home for longer, more personal shifts. You’ll live with a client in their home, helping with daily routines, medication prompts, meal preparation and companionship — and you’ll have agreed breaks as part of each placement. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Stroud and surrounding areas; PrimeCarers connects you directly with families so you pick the work that fits your life.
Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities with PrimeCarers, not one specific role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Live-in day rates typically fall in a broad range to reflect different needs; you can expect to see the market expressed as £145–£160 per day for full live-in days and £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly care. You decide what you’ll accept and when.
PrimeCarers does the client-finding and the paperwork: we handle introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than chasing admin. Profiles take minutes to create and typically go live within days of verification.
Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency life offers. You must have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. If you enjoy building relationships, supporting daily routines and delivering person-centred care, live-in work in Stroud and Gloucestershire could be a good fit.
