Description
Looking for live-in care work in Leyton that gives you control and fair pay? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families in Leyton and across Waltham Forest, so you can focus on hands-on support instead of chasing shifts. Right now, 119 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in care 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 live-in placements because the work allows deeper relationships and continuity of care that day shifts rarely offer. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and your service area, and you can accept placements that suit your life and values.
Pay varies by role and needs, but typical rates are £145–£160 per day. For more detail you may see ranges such as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers does the legwork: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Leyton and nearby areas such as Lea Bridge, Nags Head, Leytonstone, Hackney Marshes, Walthamstow and Walthamstow Village. It is not one specific role — it’s a chance to register, choose who you work with and take control of your diary.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want to move away from rota-bound agency life and build lasting client relationships. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references, you’re already close. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have one yet.

- Clear terms: you agree rates directly with families while PrimeCarers handles contracts and pay.
