Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Gidea Park

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Gidea Park and across Havering who need live-in support. Live-in care means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, helping with personal care, mealtimes, medication reminders and companionship. Many carers travel from other parts of the country for live-in placements and choose how long they stay. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work suits carers who want deeper relationships with clients, predictable routines and the chance to plan days around personal time. You set your own rate and choose which clients and areas you cover. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day with more detail available like £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly bookings and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Gidea Park and nearby neighbourhoods including Ardleigh Green, Emerson Park, Gallows Corner, Hornchurch, Romford and Harold Wood.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, draw up contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you decide your hours, your service area and which clients to accept, while PrimeCarers supports the practical side of placements.

What we expect from carers who join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Live-in roles require resilience, good communication and respect for a client’s home and routines. You will agree rest breaks with each family and plan safe handovers. Many carers moving from agency work appreciate the control and clearer paperwork that comes with self-employed placements through PrimeCarers.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Add your experience, upload references and DBS (or request one through us), and we’ll verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families can contact you directly through the platform.

If you’re based in Gidea Park, Romford, Hornchurch or nearby and want to explore live-in care without agency constraints, PrimeCarers could be the right next step. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose the work that suits you—while we take care of contracts, invoicing and insurance so placements run smoothly.
