Description
Live-in care in Blackfen means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring experience, kindness and practical skills to people who prefer to stay at home. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who want continuity of care and the chance to build real relationships. You'll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal routines, companionship and mobility support, and you’ll be expected to work flexibly within an agreed pattern of days and breaks. Live-in roles often involve evenings and overnight presence but with planned rest times. PrimeCarers supports carers from the first enquiry through to the placement, including contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance while you work. Many carers based near Blackfen and across Bexley find live-in work that fits their skills and lifestyle.
Pay and flexibility are shaped by you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates within £145–£160 per day, choose your clients, hours and service area, and accept the placements that suit you. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care and building trust with the person you support. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Willingness to stay in someone’s home and work agreed days, nights and breaks as part of a live-in arrangement.
