Description
Live-in care in Norbiton means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. If you’re an experienced carer fed up with agency shifts and want control over who you support and when, these ongoing self-employed opportunities could suit you. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many find close, stable roles in local communities like Norbiton.
Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.This work is about practical support and companionship: personal care, medication prompts, mealtime help, mobility assistance, light household tasks and being a steady presence overnight. Live-in roles need someone calm, dependable and used to working independently. You’ll be living in the client’s home, so respect, boundaries and clear communication are essential. Many carers from nearby towns such as New Malden, Berrylands, Surbiton, Hampton Wick, Kingston Vale and Motspur Park already work in Norbiton and Kingston upon Thames areas.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers. You set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — most carers on the platform work within a typical range of £145–£160 per day. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed and in control of how you work.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this). We do not advertise a single role here — we list ongoing opportunities so you can match with families that suit your skills and preferences.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, submit basic checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then be able to review client requests and accept placements that fit your availability. Many carers leave agency patterns for the flexibility and clearer relationships live-in work brings, while keeping the practical admin handled for them.
If you want a role where you can build longer-term relationships, shape your working pattern and be fairly rewarded for experience, consider live-in care in Norbiton. Set your own terms, travel to placements if you wish, and stay supported by PrimeCarers’ admin and insurance while you work. Start your profile today and be visible to families in Norbiton and across Kingston upon Thames within days.
