Description

Ready to offer full-time, compassionate support while living in someone’s home? PrimeCarers connects self-employed live-in carers with families across Cubitt Town and nearby areas including Isle of Dogs, Millwall, Blackwall, Canary Wharf, Poplar and Leamouth. Live-in roles involve supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship while you sleep and take agreed breaks. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements suit experienced carers who want stability and autonomy: you travel to a client’s home and stay there for the agreed period, providing care around the clock with set rest breaks. Many carers choose live-in work because it offers predictable responsibility, stronger relationships with clients, and fewer short split shifts than typical agency rotas.

Rates vary by client and task, and carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates. Typical pay falls in the range £145–£160 per day, with common hourly and whole-day live-in ranges shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.

This is a platform for self-employed carers who have real hands-on experience. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check everything quickly and fairly so your profile can go live within days of verification.

Cubitt Town and the wider Tower Hamlets area offer a steady demand for reliable live-in support from carers who want more control than typical agency life. Carers travel for placements from across the country, and many find the travel and stay arrangements suit a flexible, self-directed life. Applying takes minutes: build your profile, upload checks and references, and start reviewing client introductions as they arrive.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency work for more independence, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. You choose clients, hours and service area; we handle contracts, invoices and payments; and you keep the control.
