Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Old Bexley

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with live-in care opportunities in Old Bexley and the surrounding area. Live-in work means you live in the client's home, supporting daily routines and wellbeing around the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country to take on these placements. Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care in Old Bexley is about one-to-one support: companionship, assistance with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and gentle prompting to keep routines on track. You won’t be tied to a rota — you and each family agree hours and breaks directly. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area; typical pay for roles like this is £145–£160 per day. Many carers prefer live-in work for the close, stabilising relationships it builds.

This route suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work usually offers. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references, you can join. We’ll also ask to see ID and references to verify your profile before it goes live.

PrimeCarers handles finding families, drawing up contracts, invoicing and taking payments on your behalf — and we include insurance while you’re working on placements arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed: you set your rate, manage your availability and choose which clients to accept. For clarity, pay is agreed between you and the family when you accept a placement; typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown on profiles as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

Live-in care often means practical, hands-on support during the day and being available for reassurance overnight, with agreed rest breaks. You’ll work in people’s homes across Old Bexley, and sometimes in neighbouring areas; you might cover towns such as Blendon, Lamorbey, North Cray, Blackfen, Albany Park and Sidcup. You can travel for placements if you prefer to work away from your local area.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload documents and references, and we’ll verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification.
