Description

Live-in care in Haggerston means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience, empathy and practical skill to a household where continuity matters. On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and the platform handles contracts, invoicing and payments with insurance included while you work.

Right now, 101 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing opportunities around Haggerston and wider Hackney suit experienced carers who are used to agency life but want more control. Live-in care can involve supporting morning and evening routines, medication prompts, companionship, meal preparation, mobility assistance and overnight checks; exact duties are agreed with each family. Carers live in the client’s home for the placement and work with agreed breaks and rest periods.

Typical pay varies by client and needs, and you set your own fee within the local market. Typical rates are £145–£160 per day; many carers quote within the range of £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly work or £145–£160 per day for a live-in day. PrimeCarers never promises a specific income — you choose the hours and clients that suit you.

Joining is straightforward and built for professionals. Requirements to join include:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

PrimeCarers supports you through the practical bits: we find families, handle the contracts and invoicing, collect payments and include insurance while you’re on a placement. You remain your own boss, choosing which clients you accept and the area you cover — whether you want work in Haggerston itself or nearby neighbourhoods like De Beauvoir Town, Dalston, Eastside, Hoxton, Cambridge Heath and Shoreditch.

Applying takes minutes: complete your profile, upload ID, references and DBS details (or ask us to help arrange one). Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start matching with families and discussing placements directly.
