This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Ham — not a single role. Live-in work suits experienced carers who want steady, focused rounds of support and who are comfortable forming a close, respectful working relationship with one family. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for agreed periods while they provide continuous care.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £145–£160 per day depending on the care required and the family’s needs. PrimeCarers finds clients, draws up contracts and handles invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work with a client.

Requirements to join

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

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you work with and how much you charge, PrimeCarers gives you that freedom while taking care of contracts, payments and basic insurance. You remain self-employed: you choose rates, accept the clients you want and set the hours that work for you.

Many live-in roles are based in and around Ham and nearby neighbourhoods such as Petersham, Eel Pie Island, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham, Teddington and St Margarets. Applying takes minutes — you can create a profile, upload references and indicate your availability quickly. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and then families can contact you directly through the platform.
