Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Gants Hill

PrimeCarers is connecting experienced carers with live-in roles across Gants Hill and the wider Redbridge area. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and overnight needs with agreed breaks and time off. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring continuity, companionship and round-the-clock practical support. Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than traditional agency routes. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with a range of hourly and live-in day rates depending on the support required: £18.80–£20 per hour (hourly) and £145–£160 per day (live-in day). PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

Many carers move to live-in roles for the deeper relationships and continuity of care. Expect practical tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance and companionship, along with household support where agreed. You will be expected to manage your working time to include agreed breaks and rest periods, and to communicate clearly with families and PrimeCarers about duties and boundaries.

Required to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience; an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one); the right to work in the UK; and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies documentation so your profile can be published quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
