Description

Live-in care in Holborn means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers leave agency rotas for the independence and continuity of live-in work — you’ll build relationships, work fewer handovers and make a real difference to someone’s day-to-day life. Holborn is central and busy, with lots of households looking for stable live-in support, and roles often cover nearby areas such as Aldwych, Temple, Farringdon, Lee, Covent Garden and St Giles. Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific placement. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly guides shown on profiles as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day to help you decide. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so distance is not a barrier if the match and terms suit you.

Live-in work suits carers who are comfortable sharing a home and who enjoy supporting daily routines: personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household assistance. You’ll be expected to follow an agreed care plan, take the agreed breaks and keep clear records. This work is a good fit for experienced carers who want predictable, long-term assignments rather than short shifts.

PrimeCarers handles client-finding, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. As a self-employed carer you remain in control — set your rates, accept only clients that suit you and decide your availability. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to Holborn and Camden families fast.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references to keep the platform trustworthy for carers and families alike. If you already have live-in experience, that’s helpful, but experienced community or domiciliary carers are welcome to apply.

If you’re tired of rota instability and want more control over the clients you accept in Holborn and nearby, create your free profile and start choosing placements that suit your lifestyle. The application takes minutes and, once verified, your profile can be live within days so families in Holborn and Camden can find you.
