Description
Live-in care in Camden Town means staying with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, companionship and keeping a familiar home environment for someone who prefers to stay at home. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many of our carers working around Camden Town also take shifts in nearby areas such as Primrose Hill, Chalk Farm, Kentish Town, Somerstown, Kings Cross and Barnsbury. Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These roles suit experienced, practical carers who want the stability of living alongside the person they support and the flexibility of self-employment. You set your own terms: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose clients, hours and your service area, and you set your own rates within the typical range of £148–£164 per day. Many carers use the £19–£21.20 per hour for short visits and the £148–£164 per day when quoting for full live-in days.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and includes insurance while you’re working through the placement. That means you can focus on delivering excellent care in Camden Town without getting bogged down in paperwork or chasing payments.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one). We welcome carers with experience from domiciliary, residential or hospital settings—if you know how to support daily routines, manage medications and provide compassionate companionship, this could be a good fit.
Live-in placements often ask carers to travel to the client’s home, sometimes from other towns or regions. Many carers new to live-in work start with shorter trial periods, building trust with the family before committing to longer placements in Camden Town or across Camden borough.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile usually goes live within days. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any client introductions PrimeCarers makes. If you’re an experienced carer ready to take more control of your work, create your profile and start choosing the kinds of live-in roles that suit you in Camden Town.
