Description

Live-in care work in Bloomsbury 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 to take live-in placements and bring experience, compassion and practical skills to households across the area and neighbouring parts of Camden. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families so you can choose the people you work with and the hours you accept.

Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Live-in days typically reflect the extra responsibility of staying in a home; typical pay sits within £145–£160 per day depending on the household and the tasks involved. You’ll support personal care, medication prompts, mealtime assistance, companionship and household routines — plus the alerts, record-keeping and communication families expect. Live-in work in Bloomsbury and nearby neighbourhoods like St Pancras, Fitzrovia, Lee, St Giles, Somerstown and Holborn often includes clients with complex needs as well as people needing friendly, dependable daily support.

This type of role suits experienced, reliable carers who want more control than agency life often allows. If you’re tired of shift swaps and limited autonomy, self-employment lets you accept placements that fit your life and expertise. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we find clients, draw up contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on placement.

To join you 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 support you through verification, and applying takes minutes — most profiles go live within days of checks being completed. Many carers based in Camden and across London use PrimeCarers to move from agency roles into more flexible, better-paid live-in work.

If you’re ready to take more control of your work, move into live-in care and join families in Bloomsbury and beyond, create your PrimeCarers profile today. It’s quick to apply, straightforward to verify and gives you access to ongoing self-employed opportunities without committing to one particular placement.
