Description

Live-in care in Anerley means you’ll be living in a client’s home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers coming to Anerley travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you’ll work as a self-employed carer setting your own rates and choosing the clients and hours that suit you. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Work typically involves helping with personal care, mobility, medication prompting, meal preparation, companionship and keeping a safe home environment. Live-in roles are about continuity: you’re the familiar face who supports the person’s daily life and long-term wellbeing. You’ll be expected to respect household routines while following any care plan agreed with the family.

This work suits experienced, dependable carers who prefer building a one-to-one relationship with the person they support. Many carers who move from agency shifts to live-in placements appreciate the deeper, quieter rhythms of the role and the chance to deliver consistent, personalised care in Anerley and nearby areas such as Penge, Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace, Sydenham, South Norwood and Gipsy Hill. Carers travel from across the UK for these placements, so flexibility with travel is often useful.

You remain self-employed and free to choose your clients, hours and service area, whether you want roles in Anerley, elsewhere in Bromley, or beyond.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Once you submit your details and documents we verify them, and profiles typically go live within days. After that you can start choosing live-in opportunities, discuss terms with families and accept placements that suit you.
