Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Chelsfield

Live-in care roles in Chelsfield put you at the heart of someone's daily life — living in the client's home, supporting routines, personal care and companionship while taking agreed breaks. These placements suit experienced carers who want the continuity of one client and the freedom to manage their working pattern. Many carers travel into Chelsfield from across the country for live-in work, and PrimeCarers supports that move with straightforward paperwork and insurance while you work.

Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you best. Typical rates are £148–£165 per day, with common hourly work shown as £18.80–£21 per hour and live-in day ranges as £148–£165 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.

Live-in care in Chelsfield and nearby areas like Goddington, Pratts Bottom, Orpington, Derry Downs, St Mary Cray and St Pauls Cray often involves:

• Supporting morning and evening routines and personal care
• Meal preparation, medication prompting and light household tasks
• Providing companionship, prompting activities and supporting mobility
• Being available overnight with agreed rest breaks and time off

This work is best for carers who can offer calm, consistent support and who want to build a close working relationship with one person rather than moving between short shifts. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you work with and how you’re paid, live-in placements around Chelsfield and across Bromley can be a natural next step.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify applications quickly: applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers includes insurance while you work, and we take care of contracts, invoicing and secure payments. You remain self-employed, so you decide your availability, accept clients that suit your skills and agree working patterns and breaks directly with the family.
