Live-in Carer Jobs in Verwood

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with live-in work around Verwood and across Dorset. Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their own home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time away. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience and stability to people who prefer to stay at home.
Right now, 89 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care suits experienced, confident carers who want more control over their work than agency shifts allow. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area. You set your own rate and can expect opportunities in the typical range of £145–£160 per day. Some carers prefer to quote by the hour (usual hourly ranges: £19–£25 per hour) while others use a live-in day rate (typical live-in day ranges: £145–£160 per day).

The practicalities you should know: PrimeCarers finds clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments for you. Insurance is included while you work through the platform. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any assignment. Live-in placements require flexibility — day-to-day routines, mealtimes, medication prompts and companionship are common tasks, and you’ll take agreed breaks and time off as arranged with the family.

We look for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. If you already work through an agency but want more autonomy, or if you’re returning to care after a break and have up-to-date references, these roles can be a good fit.

Many carers on the platform travel for placements and cover areas around Verwood and nearby towns such as Ringwood, Fordingbridge, Ferndown, Wimborne Minster, Christchurch and Highcliffe. Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload checks and references, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain free to accept only the assignments that suit you and to set your own working pattern.

If you want clearer control over your rates, more predictable time with clients and the support of a platform that handles administration, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to work independently while staying secure. Start by registering a profile and we’ll guide you through the checks and paperwork so you can begin choosing live-in roles that match your experience and lifestyle.
