Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Bickley

Looking for live-in care work around Bickley that gives you control and respect for the work you do? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families needing someone to live in and support daily routines in their own home. Live-in roles mean you live with a client, support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and often travel from across the country for placements; you decide where you’ll work and how long you stay. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care suits experienced, confident carers who want continuity of support and a deeper relationship with the people they help. Typical tasks include personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, household tidying linked to care, companionship and supporting daytime and overnight routines. You will work with families in Bickley and nearby communities such as Bromley Common, Widmore, Widmore Green, Petts Wood, Locksbottom and Chislehurst, including trips into Bromley for supplies or appointments when needed.

As a PrimeCarers professional you remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Many carers on the platform list rates in the range £145–£160 per day; for comparision we also show typical hourly and live-in day ranges: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than chasing paperwork.

This is an ongoing opportunity to build your own diary of live-in placements rather than a one-off shift. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We welcome carers who are used to agency life but want more control, fewer rota surprises and the ability to keep more of what they earn.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for ID, references and to confirm your experience before your profile is published. You’ll also agree any working pattern and breaks with the family before a placement starts, so expectations are clear from day one.

If you’re based in or near Bickley and want live-in roles that respect your skills and time, creating a profile is the next step. Sign up, complete your profile and upload references — most carers are matched to enquiries within days. You choose which clients to contact, and PrimeCarers supports the matching, contracts and payments so you can concentrate on good care.
