Live-in Carer Jobs in Sturminster Newton

If you're an experienced carer based in or near Sturminster Newton and want more control over the work you do, PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with families. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Our platform helps you find clients while handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Right now, 95 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles are about continuity and relationship as much as practical care. You'd be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and mobility support as agreed with each family. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for the length the client needs; others prefer shorter arrangements. If you like working closely with one person and want to make a real difference in a comfortable home setting in and around Sturminster Newton, this could suit you.

This platform is built for experienced professionals who want to leave agency constraints behind. As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and manage your diary. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We support your onboarding so you can focus on the care side.

Pay and working patterns vary because you set the terms — many carers use £19–£24 per hour for hourly care, while live-in roles commonly fall within £145–£160 per day per day depending on duties and break arrangements. Typical rates on the platform are £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance cover while you are working on a placement. You’ll find opportunities around Sturminster Newton and in nearby areas such as Stalbridge, Shaftesbury, Blandford Forum, Sherborne, Wincanton and Blackford, and throughout Dorset.

Applying takes minutes and your profile usually goes live within days of verification. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post: you create a profile, choose who you reply to and accept the placements that fit your life. If you want more autonomy, clearer paperwork and a chance to focus on quality live-in care, create your profile today and start seeing suitable matches.
