Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Chessington

Live-in care in Chessington means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Placements can be nearby or involve travel from elsewhere in the country — many carers choose live-in roles because of the continuity of care and the deeper relationships they build with clients.
Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This opportunity suits experienced, practical carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, your hours and your service area. Typical rates sit around £145–£160 per day, and many carers mix hourly visits with longer live-in placements.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the administrative side — contracts, invoicing and payments — and includes insurance while you work on placement. If you prefer to keep paperwork to a minimum and focus on care, this platform takes care of the back office so you can accept the assignments that fit your life.

What live-in work involves: living in a client’s home, helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts, household tasks relevant to the role and companionship. Shifts are agreed with the client and include scheduled breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for weeks or months depending on the client’s needs.

Typical rates: for straightforward comparison, typical hourly care ranges are £18.80–£20.80 per hour, and live-in day rates are commonly £145–£160 per day. As self-employed carers you choose the rate that reflects your experience and the level of support required.

Requirements to join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references
