Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Kilburn

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from rota-based agency shifts, PrimeCarers connects self-employed live-in carers with families across Kilburn and the wider Brent area. Live-in roles mean you’ll live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements.

Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Day-to-day live-in work varies by household. Typical duties include helping with personal care, supporting mobility, preparing meals, managing medication prompts, and supporting evening and overnight needs. You’ll often be the constant, familiar face for someone who wants to stay at home. Work suits carers who value deeper, relationship-led support, predictable shifts and the chance to build continuity of care. While in Kilburn you might support clients locally or travel to nearby areas such as Brondesbury, Queens Park, West Hampstead, Maida Vale, St Johns Wood and St John's.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose who you work with. Typical pay sits in the range £146–£162 per day; we also show typical hourly and live-in day ranges where relevant (£18.89–£21 per hour, £146–£162 per day). PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means you keep control but have practical business support when you need it.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who want flexibility and more control than agency life often allows. If you’re used to working alone, enjoy building long-term relationships, and can manage household-based responsibilities, live-in care can be a good fit. Many carers who start with us were working agency shifts in Kilburn, Brondesbury or Queens Park and wanted steadier routines.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We run simple checks to keep clients and carers safe; honesty and good communication matter more than a perfect CV. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification.
