Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Charlton

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with ongoing live-in care opportunities in Charlton and the surrounding area. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and we work with families across Charlton, nearby neighbourhoods and Greenwich to find good matches.

Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who want continuity of support, deep relationships with clients and the flexibility to set their own working pattern. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, your hours and the service area you’re willing to cover. You set your own rates within the local market, typically £145–£160 per day, and can decide whether to offer day-only support or full live-in days, using the £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day ranges as a guide when you set your profile.

We never advertise a single placement on this page; instead we list ongoing opportunities across Charlton and nearby towns such as Westcombe Park, Silvertown, Blackheath Royal Standard, Maze Hill, North Woolwich and Woolwich. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care and let us take care of the paperwork.

Requirements to join are practical and straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help you arrange this if needed), and verifiable references. If you already have an Enhanced DBS and references, the application is very quick.

• How placements work: You review client briefs and choose which matches to accept. Live-in care involves supporting routines, personal care and companionship; agreed breaks are part of every arrangement.
• Flexibility: Choose short or long-term live-in assignments and the areas you’ll cover, whether you prefer to stay local in Charlton or travel in for placements.
• Support: PrimeCarers handles client agreements, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance for the time you are working with a client.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, submit documents and references, and once we verify them your profile will typically go live within days. If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency life, PrimeCarers gives you control over your work and the backing to run your own care business, while connecting you to families across Charlton and Greenwich.
