Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Torquay

Join PrimeCarers to find self-employed live-in care roles in Torquay that fit the life you want. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off arranged between you and the family. Right now, 55 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

We work with families across Torquay and nearby areas including Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Kingsteignton and Totnes. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements here — Torquay’s coastal lifestyle and year-round demand make it an attractive location for experienced carers. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on care.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency life offers. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hourly rate and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits within £145–£161.50 per day, with further detail shown as £19–£24.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£161.50 per day for live-in day rates. You decide the assignments you accept and how you build your week.

Live-in care requires practical, compassionate support: personal care, medication prompts, mealtime help, companionship and supporting daily routines. You’ll be part of a small, consistent team with the family to plan agreed breaks and rest periods. Torquay placements often involve supporting older adults with mobility or dementia needs, but the specifics vary from household to household.

To join you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list one specific job here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Torquay and Devon. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers reduces the admin burden: we match you with families, manage contracts and invoicing, and handle payments so you get paid for the hours agreed. Insurance is included while you are on placements.
