Description
Live-in care in Coney Hall means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and clear expectations. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities that suit carers who want more control over who they work for and how they work. Right now, 102 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a live-in carer you’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication prompts, support with mealtimes and light household tasks—all tailored to each person’s needs. Live-in placements often suit smaller towns and suburbs around Bromley and beyond; many carers travel from across the country for these roles. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day, with further detail available in profiles as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. This page advertises ongoing opportunities across Coney Hall rather than a single role.
This kind of work suits experienced, compassionate carers who value continuity and the chance to build strong relationships. On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and agree breaks and expectations directly. PrimeCarers finds introductions, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work—so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it) and verifiable references. We don’t invent start dates or shift patterns here: profiles list the kind of care families are looking for and you decide what fits. Many carers who leave agency work for self-employed live-in roles value the stability of ongoing placements and the flexibility to choose when and where to work.
Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you’re based in or around Coney Hall and nearby communities like West Wickham, Keston, Eden Park, Addington, New Addington and Bromley Common, or happy to travel for the right placement, PrimeCarers can connect you with families looking for committed live-in carers.
