Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Newington

Live-in care in Newington means living in with a client and supporting their daily routine around the clock, with agreed breaks and time away. You’ll help with personal care, meal preparation, companionship, medication prompts and practical household tasks — all delivered with respect for the person’s independence and wishes. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer deeper continuity of care and the practical stability of a live-in placement. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in roles in Newington and the wider Lambeth area, and placements often last weeks or months rather than single shifts. You remain self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — typical ranges are shown on profiles as £145–£160 per day.

Pay and flexibility: as a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you decide how much you charge, whether you prefer long-term live-in work or shorter residential stays. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are available on the platform: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care and the relationship you build with the person you support.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t post single roles on this page — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Newington and nearby neighbourhoods such as Elephant and Castle, Bankside, Blackfriars, Temple, Kennington and Walworth.

When you apply it only takes minutes to create a profile. Upload your details, experience and references; PrimeCarers verifies everything and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can be contacted by families looking for live-in carers, review client details and choose the placements that suit you.

If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency shifts to more stable, meaningful live-in work in Newington, PrimeCarers supports you through the admin and connects you with families. You keep control of your rates and hours, the platform manages contracts and payments, and many carers find the deeper relationships and routine of live-in care professionally and personally rewarding.
