Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Bexleyheath

Live‑in care in Bexleyheath means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for placements like these — you’ll work closely with one person or a couple and provide companionship, medication prompts, personal care and household support as needed. Carers set their own hours and terms, and rates commonly sit within £145–£160 per day. Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced, confident carers who want continuity of care and the chance to build a real relationship with a client. If you’re used to agency shifts and would value fewer handovers, more autonomy and predictable routines, live‑in roles around Bexleyheath can be rewarding and steady. You might cover personal care, meal preparation, mobility assistance, specialist prompts and social engagement — all within the client’s home.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self‑employed carers. That means you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. We find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. Typical pay varies; use £18.80–£20 per hour for short visits and £145–£160 per day for full live‑in days when setting your profile. You stay in control of how you work and which bookings you accept.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self‑employed throughout; PrimeCarers supports the admin so you can focus on care.

Live‑in placements are available across Bexleyheath and the surrounding area, including Bexley New Town, Crook Log, Blendon, Bexley Village, Barnehurst and Old Bexley. Some placements require travel to stay with a family for a number of weeks or months; others are local and occasional. Please note this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific role — you decide which clients to connect with.

If you’re ready to move away from agency rota‑driven life and take greater control of your work, creating a profile is quick. Complete the short sign‑up, upload your documents and references, and start reviewing client enquiries as soon as your checks are approved. Many carers who choose live‑in work in Bexleyheath find it gives more meaningful, consistent care and better work–life rhythm than shift‑based roles.
