Description

Live-in care roles with PrimeCarers mean you'll be living with a client in their home in and around Tisbury, Wiltshire, helping with daily routines and being available around the clock with agreed breaks. Many live-in carers travel from across the country for placements and stay with clients for weeks or months at a time. Right now, 93 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work gives: you choose the clients you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Live-in care involves helping with personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, medication prompts, companionship and household routines. It’s hands-on, rewarding and requires someone who is comfortable living in another person’s home and working flexibly.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and can negotiate terms directly with families. Typical pay sits in the range of £145–£160 per day depending on the needs of the household and the level of responsibility. You decide how many live-in placements to accept and can balance them with local day work if you wish.

Requirements to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work on a placement. That means you keep control of your work as a self-employed carer without being responsible for all the back-office admin. Many carers who have left agency employment find this combination of control and support easier and more transparent.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload right-to-work and reference details, and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days. We match you with families in Tisbury and neighbouring areas such as Shaftesbury, Mere, Wilton, Warminster, Salisbury and Sturminster Newton, and you can choose which enquiries to accept.
