Live-in Carer Jobs in Clapham

Live-in carer roles in Clapham (Lambeth) involve living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll be helping someone remain independent where they feel safest — their own home. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who want autonomy and reliable, ongoing work. Live-in placements typically involve personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and supporting mobility or routines through the day and night. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay with the same household for weeks or months, depending on the agreement. If you’re used to agency shift rosters but miss continuity and real relationships, live-in care in Clapham can be a different, rewarding way to work.

On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed and set your own rates.
