Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Kew

Live-in care roles in Kew suit experienced carers who want continuity, closeness and the professional freedom to work on their own terms. You would live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements to Kew and nearby addresses. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in work in Kew and the wider Richmond upon Thames area involves personal care, meal support, medication prompts, reassurance and companionship. It also means building true relationships and being part of someone’s life for a sustained period. These roles suit carers who prefer long-form support over shift-based rotas and who appreciate the predictability of an ongoing placement.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. You can advertise an hourly rate or negotiate live-in day rates — many carers on the platform work within £145–£160 per day, with typical hourly bookings in the range £18.80–£20.30 per hour and live-in day rates around £145–£160 per day. You remain in control of how much you work and where.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you can start choosing opportunities around Kew, across North Sheen, East Sheen, Mortlake, Chiswick, Richmond and Gunnersbury and further afield once your profile is approved.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help you arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK.
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.
