Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Kings Cross

Live-in care means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. In Kings Cross you’ll work closely with one person or couple, helping with personal care, mobility, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks that keep someone safe and independent in their own home. Right now, 94 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want steadier hours, deeper relationships and the freedom to set their own way of working. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and appreciate the focus and continuity that comes from being based with a single client. You should expect to be part of day-to-day life while also taking planned breaks and time off as agreed with the client and their family. Kings Cross placements often link into nearby neighbourhoods such as Somerstown, Barnsbury, St Pancras, Pentonville, Camden Town and Angel and into the wider Camden area.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical ranges are £146–£161.50 per day for care shifts. For clarity, the platform shows typical examples like £18.80–£21 per hour for hourly care and £146–£161.50 per day for live-in day rates so you can compare what works for you. PrimeCarers does not set your rate—you choose it, you choose your clients, hours and service area.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on caring. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That support is built for people leaving agency life who want more control without taking on all the back-office work alone. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check these as part of verification so families can choose with confidence and you can move into live-in work quickly.
