Live-in Carer Jobs in Weymouth

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Weymouth who need live-in support. Live-in care means you’ll live in the client’s home, help with daily routines and personal care, and be available around the clock with agreed break times. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements in Weymouth and the surrounding Dorset towns because they want more control over the work they do and who they work with.

Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who value continuity of care and predictable stretches of work. You’ll support everyday life—meals, medication prompts, mobility assistance, companionship and overnight checks—while keeping the home comfortable and safe. This kind of care benefits people who need steady, familiar support and carers who prefer deeper relationships over shift-based visiting work. Carers travel from other regions to take placements in Weymouth and often cover nearby locations such as Chickerell, Portland, Dorchester, Bridport, Wareham and Beaminster.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical ranges you’ll see are £145–£160 per day, with more detailed guides for hourly and live-in day work shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check.

Weymouth carers often choose assignments that fit their life: short-term live-in cover, longer placements, or seasonal work. Because you’re self-employed you choose clients, hours and your service area; many carers appreciate being able to refuse work that doesn’t suit them or negotiate breaks directly with a family before accepting a placement.
