Live-in Carer Jobs in Erith

Live-in carer roles in Erith suit experienced carers who want to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post, and many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements in Erith and the wider Bexley area.

Right now, 103 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 and companionship—organising daily rhythms, keeping the home comfortable and being there through nights when needed. You’ll agree breaks and time off with each client, and many placements are ideal for carers who prefer continuity of care and deeper relationships with people they support.

This work is best for people with hands-on experience who value independence. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you work for, live-in roles in Erith can offer that change. You choose clients, hours and the area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, so you can reflect your experience in what you charge.

Pay and practical details: typical rates for roles like these are shown here as £145–£160 per day. We also display more detailed ranges where helpful—£18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates—so you can consider what fits your lifestyle. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, removing much of the admin burden.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once verified. Many carers come into Erith placements from neighbouring towns such as Lessness Heath, Colyers, Northumberland Heath, Slade Green, Belvedere and Barnehurst and further afield.

We advertise ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Erith and Bexley rather than single jobs, so you can browse and choose placements that match your preferences. If you want a role with consistent hours, or a placement where you stay for a period and build routine, live-in care could be the right next step.
