Description

We’re looking for experienced self-employed carers available for live-in work in Kenley and the surrounding Croydon area. Live-in care means you’ll live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks and clear boundaries. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and work with people who want continuity, company and skilled support in familiar surroundings. Right now, 100 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. You’ll see typical pay bands like £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days, and many carers list their overall expectations within £145–£160 per day when they create a profile.

PrimeCarers makes the practical side easier: we find matches, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care without having to manage every admin task yourself. You remain self-employed — free to accept or decline offers and to travel to placements in Kenley, Riddlesdown, Purley, Sanderstead, Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon and Selsdon, or further afield depending on your preferences. Riddlesdown, Purley, Sanderstead, Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon and Selsdon

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t post a single job here: this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Kenley and nearby parts of Croydon so you’ll be applying to our platform rather than a single employer.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, list your experience, qualifications and the days or types of live-in work you’ll consider. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. After that you can review client requests and choose the placements that fit your life. If you’re tired of shift rotas you don’t control and want steady, meaningful live-in work in Kenley with the backing of streamlined contracts and payments, PrimeCarers could be the change you’re ready for.
