Description

Live-in care in Maryland means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Placements are for experienced, self-employed carers who can travel from across the country for stays of varying lengths. Many carers move between live-in roles while keeping control of where and when they work. Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits carers who want continuity of care and time to build relationships: supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and domestic tasks that help someone stay well at home. Live-in days can vary; PrimeCarers shows typical pay so you can decide what to charge. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. Typical ranges you’ll see are £145–£160 per day and for live-in placements you may also see £145–£160 per day and hourly-care figures such as £18.80–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers does the matching and the admin. We find you clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on caring while the platform manages paperwork and payment flows. Many carers who were tired of agency shifts find this freedom a welcome change.

To join from Maryland or anywhere in Newham you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll remain self-employed: you choose which offers to accept and agree your working pattern with each client before you move in.

Live-in placements often take you to neighbourhoods across east London — you might find roles near Cann Hall, West Ham, Forest Gate, Hackney Wick, Hackney Marshes and Leytonstone — and we regularly match carers in Maryland with people across Newham and the surrounding boroughs. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control—over pay, hours and who you work with—PrimeCarers is built for that. Create your profile, upload your DBS and references, and set the services you offer. Families contact you directly through the platform, you agree the terms, and PrimeCarers supports the admin while you deliver care.
