Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Little Ilford and surrounding areas who need live-in support. Live-in care means you’ll stay in the client’s home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and choose how long they stay.
Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in roles are ideal if you want continuity of care and closer relationships with the people you support. You’ll assist with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support, light housekeeping and providing companionship. Tasks vary by client, and you choose the placements that suit your experience and preferences. Little Ilford clients often need support with long-term conditions, dementia or post-hospital recovery; placements also appear across Newham and nearby communities like Loxford, Ilford, Manor Park, Barking, East Ham and Seven Kings.
As a PrimeCarers carer you work self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is shown by the range £148–£163.50 per day and you’ll also see role-specific ranges like £18.89–£21 per hour for hourly work and £148–£163.50 per day for live-in day rates when you browse opportunities. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — leaving you free to deliver care.
Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience and are ready for more autonomy than agency life, live-in caring could be a good match. You should have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS. If you need one, PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS check as part of the onboarding.
Joining is straightforward. The online application only takes minutes, you add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers verifies documents; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests, discuss the care plan directly and accept placements that fit your needs and availability.
