Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in New Malden and across Kingston upon Thames who need reliable live-in support. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from other parts of the country for live-in placements; you can choose how far you’re willing to travel and which clients suit your experience and values. Right now, 99 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This role suits skilled, confident carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want greater control and better working relationships than typical agency shifts allow. You set your own rates and hours, choose your service area and pick the clients you accept. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay for roles on the platform varies by client needs and location, commonly around £145–£160 per day.
PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care: we find clients, draft contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, so you keep control of how you work, but you’re not left to sort contracts or chase payments alone.
Live-in care often includes personal care, medication prompts, companionship, meal preparation, mobility assistance and supporting evening or overnight needs according to an agreed plan. Every placement differs; you’ll discuss duties, shifts and agreed breaks with the family before accepting. Many carers who’ve moved from agency work value the deeper relationships they build and the predictable, continuous care patterns of live-in roles.
To join PrimeCarers you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents and references quickly; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
