Live-in Carer Jobs in Dulwich

Live-in care in Dulwich suits experienced carers who want to build close working relationships with one family. You’ll live in the client’s home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Live-in carers travel from across the country for placements and can expect varied lengths of stays depending on the family’s needs. Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and decide which placements to accept. Typical pay for these roles is £145–£160 per day and many carers combine hourly care with live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.

These roles are right for people who have at least one year of professional care experience, want more control than agency work and are comfortable living in someone else’s home. Dulwich offers a variety of needs and settings, and nearby placements often come up in Forest Hill, Sydenham Hill, East Dulwich, Upper Sydenham, Honor Oak and Peckham Rye as well as other parts of Southwark and beyond.

What we need from you

• Experience: Minimum one year of professional care experience
• Checks: An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
• Right to work: Legal right to work in the UK
• References: Verifiable references from recent roles

PrimeCarers is built for carers moving away from traditional agency models. You’ll keep control over your rates and availability while we do the admin — matching you with families, preparing contracts and ensuring secure, timely payments. Insurance is included for the time you’re working through the platform.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload references and DBS, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Many carers travel into Dulwich from elsewhere for live-in placements; others live locally and prefer shorter commutes into Forest Hill, East Dulwich or Peckham Rye.

If you want a role with real responsibility, fewer shift handovers and the chance to deliver consistent, person‑centred care, live-in work through PrimeCarers could suit you.
