Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Lisson Grove who need live-in support. Live-in carers live with a client in their own home, helping with daily routines and companionship, and providing care around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay with a household for as long as both parties agree.

Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of role suits experienced, reliable carers who want more control than traditional agency work. If you’re used to supporting personal care, medication prompts, mobility or dementia needs, coming to a household in Lisson Grove gives you the chance to build continuity of care and stronger relationships with the person you’re supporting. You can also choose to work in nearby areas such as Little Venice, St Johns Wood, St John's, Paddington, Maida Vale and Marylebone and elsewhere across Westminster and the surrounding boroughs.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for live-in roles sit around £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working on a placement. That means you manage your working day with the flexibility of being self-employed, while we take care of the paperwork and payment flow.

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 ask for these checks so families and carers can start placements with confidence.

  • Who we’re looking for: caring, patient people with experience in adult social care and a clear record of professional references.
  • What you’ll do: support daily routines, provide companionship, assist with personal care and follow agreed care plans while living in the client’s home.
  • How it works: you pick assignments you want, agree terms directly with the family and work as a self-employed carer with insurance provided while you’re on placement.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’d like live-in work in Lisson Grove, create your profile, upload your references and DBS (or ask us to help arrange one), and start seeing suitable matches. Many carers who started with PrimeCarers moved from agency schedules to the clearer hours and closer relationships of live-in roles in Lisson Grove and nearby streets.
