Description

Live-in care assistants live with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. In Hampstead this means long-term, relationship-based support — from personal care and meal assistance to medication reminders and companionship. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and cover the full responsibilities of day-to-day life alongside the person they support. Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who value stability and depth of care. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you work as self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients and hours you accept, and define the service area that fits your life in and around Hampstead and the wider Camden borough.

Typical pay sits in a competitive bracket — many carers on the platform list rates around £145–£160 per day. For reference, hourly care listings commonly appear as £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates as £145–£160 per day. Remember, on PrimeCarers you remain self-employed and set the rate that reflects your skills and experience. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working, so you can focus on care rather than admin. Profiles typically go live within days of verification.

What we ask of you

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one.
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable professional references.

Live-in care is a different rhythm to shift work: you’re part of someone’s home and daily life, so resilience, good boundaries and clear communication are essential. Many carers who join from agencies appreciate the continuity you get in Hampstead — building routines, forming meaningful bonds, and working within a family environment rather than rotating shifts.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify you. Once verified your profile can be live within days and families in Hampstead, Camden and neighbouring areas can invite you to discuss placements. We also often have interest from families in Hamstead, Frognal, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage, Childs Hill and West Hampstead.
