Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Earls Court and across Kensington and Chelsea who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live in the client’s home, support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and often travel from across the country for placements. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Typical pay for comparable roles is shown as £145–£160 per day; you can set a rate within that range or higher depending on the needs and complexity of each placement. Whether you already work locally around Earls Court or commute from nearby areas, PrimeCarers supports flexible arrangements and honest discussions about expectations. Many carers who join us are keen to move away from agency shift patterns and build longer-term, personalised relationships with individual families.
What you’ll do as a live-in carer: you’ll provide personal care, help with medicines, support mobility, prepare meals, accompany clients locally for appointments or short outings and offer companionship. Live-in work is about day-to-day support and being available overnight while taking agreed breaks; every placement is different and details are agreed with the client in advance.
Who this suits: experienced carers who value autonomy, strong communication and continuity of care. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not employ carers — you remain self-employed and in control of your diary.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We often place carers in households across Earls Court and nearby neighbourhoods such as West Brompton, West Kensington, Kensington, South Kensington, Fulham and Holland Park. If you want to keep delivering hands-on care but without agency shifts, setting your own hours and rates could be the right next step.
