Description
Live-in care in Lamorbey means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for placements in Lamorbey and nearby parts of Bexley, bringing continuity and companionship that local families value. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can list live-in availability for longer placements. Typical pay for roles like this is £148–£165 per day and you can see and negotiate rates directly with families before you accept a placement. Placements in Lamorbey often need experience with personal care, medication prompts, meal support and companionship at different levels of need.
This type of role suits experienced care professionals who want more control than traditional agency work. You should be comfortable living in someone’s home, respecting household routines and maintaining professional boundaries while providing round-the-clock support with agreed breaks. Many carers who join from other parts of the UK report that live-in roles offer deeper relationships and a clearer work pattern than shift-based care.
PrimeCarers helps find the family for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed: you manage how you work and who you work with. We verify references and checks so families can book with confidence.
Requirements to join
