Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Morden who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live in the client’s home, support daily routines around the clock and take agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for these placements. Right now, 110 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of role suits skilled carers who want more control than traditional agency work. If you’ve got at least a year of professional care experience, a calm, practical approach to day-to-day support and the flexibility to be part of someone’s home life, live-in work in Morden can be highly rewarding. You’ll often be supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household routines while respecting the person’s independence and privacy. We also support placements across Merton when needed.
As a PrimeCarers member you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for roles like these is £148–£165 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less admin and clearer, professional terms for both you and the family.
- Experience: At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- Checks: An Enhanced DBS is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need support.
- Eligibility: The right to work in the UK and verifiable references are needed.
Live-in duties vary by client; some placements need more hands-on personal care, others focus on companionship and household help. Carers choose the placements they accept and agree rotas and breaks with families before starting. Many of our live-in carers travel to placements from outside London and stay for agreed periods, so flexibility and clear communication are important. You may find opportunities in Morden and nearby areas such as Merton Park, Morden Park, Lower Morden, Mitcham, South Wimbledon and Colliers Wood.
Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re ready for more autonomy, less agency-style admin and the chance to build meaningful relationships through live-in work in Morden, set up your PrimeCarers profile and start seeing suitable client introductions.
