Description
Are you an experienced carer looking to move away from rota-driven agency work and try live-in care around Limehouse? Live-in care means you stay in a client’s home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements and build long, trusting relationships with families in Limehouse and nearby neighbourhoods. Right now, 107 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you stay self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for roles like this sits within £148–£164 per day; many carers advertise within £18.89–£21 per hour for hourly care and £148–£164 per day for a live-in day. You’ll find opportunities across Limehouse and the wider Tower Hamlets borough, with links into local communities including Ratcliff, Canary Wharf, Mile End, Stepney, Wapping and Millwall.
Live-in care days are varied. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, mobility support and maintaining household routines. Some nights are mostly quiet; other placements need more hands-on support. Successful live-in carers are calm, adaptable and confident managing someone’s day from first light to bedtime while taking agreed rest breaks.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and handling the paperwork. We organise contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work on a placement. That means you can focus on care and on agreeing terms that work for you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing local live-in opportunities around Limehouse quickly.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’re looking for people who can build professional relationships with clients and families across Limehouse, and who are comfortable travelling for placements when needed.
