Description
Live-in care in Bermondsey is for experienced carers who prefer being fully present for one person or couple. On a live-in placement you live in the client's home, support daily routines, personal care and companionship, and take agreed breaks while remaining on-site. Many carers travel from across the country for these roles and choose placements that suit their lifestyle. Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform: carers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day and you can pick hourly or live-in arrangements that work for you — see the typical hourly and day ranges below. You remain in control of when and where you work in Bermondsey, from riverside areas to quieter residential streets.
- Typical hourly care: £18.80–£20 per hour
- Typical live-in day: £145–£160 per day
This kind of role suits carers with at least one year of professional care experience who value continuity, companionship and being part of someone's day-to-day life. We regularly connect carers with families across Bermondsey and nearby neighbourhoods such as Burgess Park, Wapping, Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays, Tower Hill and Walworth. Whether you’re used to agency shifts or independent work, PrimeCarers makes the paperwork easier so you can focus on care.
To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working on a placement. Carers choose their own clients, hours and service area, and many profiles go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes.
If you’re based in Bermondsey or willing to travel for a live-in placement, this is a chance to trade agency rota constraints for predictable, full-days of meaningful work. You’ll still have agreed breaks and time off, but with the stability that comes from living in and supporting the same person. Interested?
