Description
Work as a self-employed live-in care assistant in Trowbridge and support someone in their own home by living with them and helping with day-to-day routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Live-in roles suit experienced carers who want meaningful, continuous work and the freedom to set their own working style. You set your own rates and terms — typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day for roles like these.
Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in care involves waking and night-time support, personal care, companionship, medication prompts and helping people stay independent where possible. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and may find work in Trowbridge and nearby Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Melksham, Bath, Corsham and Frome. Many placements last weeks or months, others run for longer; you decide which clients and lengths suit you.
This kind of role suits you if you have at least one year of professional care experience, dependable references and the right to work in the UK. You must have an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and be able to provide verifiable references. We do not list one-off shifts—these are ongoing, self-employed opportunities for people ready to live in and build a trusted routine.
With PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you choose clients, hours and your service area, and you set your own rates. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That administrative support lets you focus on care, not paperwork. Typical pay can be shown as £19.20–£23.50 per hour for hourly live care or £145–£160 per day for day-rate live-in arrangements, depending on the client and the agreement.
Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and give us references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can then review client profiles, ask questions and agree terms like agreed breaks and time off directly with the family.

- Live-in specifics: live with the client, provide round-the-clock assistance with agreed breaks and travel for placements as needed.
