Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families needing trusted live‑in support in Homerton. Live‑in roles mean you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements that suit their skills and lifestyle.

Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You decide your rates, the clients you accept, your hours and the service area you cover. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with more detailed ranges shown as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers handles the admin: we find clients, arrange contracts, invoice and collect payments, and provide insurance while you work.

Live‑in care is practical, hands‑on and relationship‑led. Tasks can include personal care, medication prompts, supporting mobility and daily routines, meal support and companionship. Shifts vary with each placement because you choose the client and agree terms directly. Many carers moving away from agency rotas find the continuity rewarding: you build deeper relationships and manage your own time.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange this if you don’t already have one. We verify documents quickly, and applying takes minutes — profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Most placements are around Homerton and wider Hackney, with families often looking for carers able to work near Hackney Central, Lower Clapton, Hackney Wick, Victoria Park, Hackney Marshes and South Hackney. If you’re used to agency work but want clearer control over pay and clients, live‑in roles through PrimeCarers could be a good next step. You remain self‑employed: you set your terms and choose which offers to accept.

If this sounds like the right change, creating a profile takes only a few minutes. Once verified we’ll start matching you with families whose needs suit your experience and availability. We aim to make the process straightforward so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
