Live-in Carer Jobs in Derry Downs

Live-in care in Derry Downs means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families needing dependable, person-centred support in Derry Downs and the wider Bromley area.

Right now, 95 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in carer you’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility, companionship and keeping daily routines comfortable and familiar. Shifts are arranged directly with the family, so you can agree break patterns and handover arrangements that work practically for you and the person you support. Live-in placements often suit experienced carers who want continuity of care rather than short shifts.

PrimeCarers is designed for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates, choose your clients and control your hours and service area. Typical rates for roles like these are £145–£160 per day. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoice and collect payments, and include insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.

This opportunity suits carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You do not need to be local to Derry Downs — many carers travel from nearby towns including St Mary Cray, St Pauls Cray, Orpington, Goddington, Petts Wood and Chelsfield and from further afield into Bromley and Derry Downs for live-in placements.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, then wait for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and families can contact you directly to discuss specifics of care, breaks and travel. We don’t post a single role here; we list ongoing self-employed opportunities across Derry Downs so you can choose the match that fits your life.

If you’re used to agency work but want more autonomy and clearer terms, PrimeCarers supports that move. Build relationships with clients, plan longer-term support and negotiate the working pattern that suits you. Ready to see what’s available around Derry Downs and Bromley?
