Live-in Carer Jobs in Ladywell

Live-in care in Ladywell means living with someone in their home and supporting their daily routine around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll provide personal care, companionship, meal support, medication reminders and help with household routines while respecting the person’s independence and preferences. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many choose Ladywell because of its local community feel and good transport links into Lewisham and beyond. Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and take control of their working life. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical live-in day pay is flexible and reflects the responsibility involved; many carers reference £145–£160 per day when setting fees and negotiating with families. PrimeCarers introduces you to families in Ladywell and nearby areas such as Crofton Park, Catford, Brockley, Hither Green, Honor Oak and Kidbrooke.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and take care of payments. Insurance is included while you are working on a placement. You retain professional autonomy and agree working patterns and breaks with each family before you move in. Carers travel from across the UK for placements and often stay for weeks or months depending on what both parties agree.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed. We don’t list a single job here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Ladywell and Lewisham for carers interested in live-in work.

Many carers find that live-in work provides continuity of care and a deeper relationship with clients while offering predictable, negotiated pay and agreed rest periods.
