Description

If you’re an experienced carer based in or willing to travel to Westbury, PrimeCarers connects you with live-in care opportunities across Wiltshire and beyond. Live-in roles mean you’ll stay in a client’s home to support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time away. Many carers move into placements from other parts of the country because the work suits those wanting closer, consistent relationships with families.

Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care with PrimeCarers suits skilled, compassionate professionals who prefer autonomy. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours and the area you cover — many carers who’ve left agency work praise the clearer continuity of care and the chance to work one-to-one. Typical pay is flexible: carers on the platform set their own rates and you can expect market levels such as £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly options available depending on the family’s needs. For reference, common ranges you’ll see on listings include £19.20–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for whole live-in days.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find matches, manage contracts, invoice families and ensure payments reach you. Insurance is included while you work on a placement, and we support you with paperwork so moving into a live-in role is straightforward. This platform is built for self-employed carers who want control over work without the back-office hassle.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — if you need help arranging a DBS, PrimeCarers can assist. You’ll also need to be comfortable living with someone in their home for the duration of a placement and agreeing a routine with the family that includes regular, agreed breaks.

Westbury is well placed for live-in work across the rest of Wiltshire and nearby towns such as Warminster, Trowbridge, Frome, Bradford on Avon, Melksham and Devizes. Carers travel from across the country for these roles and many find the travel worthwhile for the stability and depth of care they can offer.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload references and DBS, and our verification typically gets you live within days. PrimeCarers will then introduce you to families whose needs match your skills and availability. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency rotas towards self-employed live-in care in Westbury, this is a practical way to make that change while keeping control of your rates, clients and hours.
