Description
Live-in carers on PrimeCarers live with clients in their own homes in Belvedere, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication prompts and home-based support so someone can stay comfortable in familiar surroundings. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often work with families across Belvedere and wider Bexley.
Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you — many carers list rates in the range £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care not admin.
Live-in placements suit experienced carers who value continuity, building relationships and being part of someone’s everyday life. Expect to be involved in morning and evening routines, meal support, mobility assistance, light household tasks and companionship. Breaks are agreed in advance and respected; you are not expected to be on duty every minute of every day.
We’re looking for people who already have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over where you work, live-in roles via PrimeCarers can be a practical next step.
Many of our carers choose placements in and around Belvedere and nearby areas such as Lessness Heath, Northumberland Heath, Erith, Abbey Wood, Barnehurst and Colyers. You’ll be able to review client requests, ask questions, and agree a rate and schedule before committing. Travel to a placement is arranged between you and the family; some carers travel from other regions for longer placements.
Applying takes minutes — create your profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can invite you to discuss placements. If you want clarity about live-in care in Belvedere or how PrimeCarers works, our team is here to help by phone or email.
If you’re ready to take more control of your work, enjoy close, meaningful care and want fair, flexible pay, join PrimeCarers and start exploring live-in roles in Belvedere today.
