Description
Live-in care in North Cray means you live with a client in their home and support their daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer continuity of care, deep relationships and predictable days. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and adapt to households across Bexley and the surrounding area.
Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This is an ongoing stream of self-employed opportunities through PrimeCarers, not one specific position. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. You can expect typical pay from £148–£163.50 per day depending on the household and responsibilities. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
Live-in work commonly includes supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, mobility assistance and maintaining routines. You will have agreed breaks and time away from the home as part of each placement. These roles suit carers who can stay for multi-day periods, are comfortable working in someone else’s home and want the stability that live-in care can bring.
Who we need
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
