Description

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from rota-driven agency work, live-in care in Aldwych could suit you. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. Right now, 96 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families in Aldwych and the surrounding neighbourhoods including Temple, Covent Garden, Holborn, Lee, St Giles and Charing Cross. You choose which clients you want to work with, the hours you offer and the area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and can accept or decline matches as they wish.

Typical pay for live-in roles varies by need and experience — expect competitive arrangements within £145–£160 per day for day and hourly care patterns. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement.

This type of role suits carers who are comfortable being part of someone’s home life, happy to support personal care, meals, medication prompts and companionship, and able to create a stable routine. Live-in work can be intensive but rewarding: many carers value the continuity of supporting the same person over weeks or months rather than short shifts.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do checks to protect families and carers, and we’ll guide you through every step of verification.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is approved you’ll start receiving enquiries from families in Aldwych, Camden and nearby areas. You remain self-employed at all times, so you control which offers you accept and how you manage your diary.

If you want a different pace from shift-driven work, live-in care around Aldwych offers deep relationships, clearer routines and the freedom to set your own terms. Create your PrimeCarers profile today and see what matches come through—many carers find the move to self-employed live-in care both professionally and personally fulfilling.
