Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Canary Wharf

Live-in care in Canary Wharf 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 these longer placements, bringing experienced, compassionate support to people who want to stay in familiar surroundings. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — and you set your own rates. Right now, 113 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Typical live-in duties include helping with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship, mobility support and household tasks that keep a routine comfortable and safe. Live-in work is about steady presence and reliable practical help rather than shift swapping: you’ll be available overnight while taking the agreed breaks each day.

This kind of role suits carers who have at least a year of professional experience, who value continuity and want to build deeper relationships with clients. Many carers moving away from traditional agency rosters find they prefer the predictability and the closer rapport that live-in roles offer in Canary Wharf and the wider Tower Hamlets area. You’ll also find placements in neighbouring communities such as Millwall, Limehouse, Isle of Dogs, Blackwall, Poplar and Cubitt Town.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. PrimeCarers lists typical rates so you can decide what to charge — typical care rates are £145–£160 per day — and you keep control of the hours you accept. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, draws up contracts, manages invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

• Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• Eligibility: the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is live you can browse live-in opportunities, message families directly and accept placements that fit your availability and travel plans. Many carers travel nationally for live-in work, so flexibility to travel is useful but not essential for every placement.

If you’re an experienced carer based near Canary Wharf and ready for more autonomy, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward: create a profile, verify your checks and start choosing clients. It’s practical, clear and designed for carers who want to work their way.
