Description
Live-in care in Cudham means sharing a home with a client and supporting their daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring valuable experience to households in Cudham and the wider Bromley area. Right now, 102 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single placement — you choose who you care for, which hours you accept and the area you work in. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and can see roles that typically sit around £145–£160 per day so you can decide what works for you. Live-in postings often attract carers willing to stay longer term and build strong routines with the person they support.
Live-in care suits experienced carers who are comfortable sharing a home, managing personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes and companionship, and keeping the household running day-to-day. You’ll work closely with families and may help with mobility, continence support, dementia-friendly approaches, wound care where trained, and liaising with community nurses. Many carers working in and around Cudham also take placements that cover nearby towns such as Downe, Aperfield, Biggin Hill, Pratts Bottom, Leaves Green and Westerham.
Pay and flexibility
PrimeCarers lists both hourly and live-in pay ranges so you can compare opportunities. Typical hourly ranges appear as £18.80–£20 per hour while live-in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day. You remain self-employed and set your own rate for each client; PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
