Live-in Carer Jobs in Paddington

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with ongoing live-in roles in Paddington. Live-in work means you live in the client’s home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring the reliability and companionship families need. Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles in Paddington are ideal if you value continuity of care, want to build strong relationships, and prefer predictable, single-placement working patterns rather than rotating shifts. You decide who you work with, which hours you agree and the area you cover. Typical pay flexibility is shown as £145–£160 per day; many carers compare hourly work at £18.80–£20 per hour to live-in day rates of £145–£160 per day when setting their terms.

PrimeCarers is set up for self-employed professionals: you create a profile, choose the clients you want to speak to, and set your own rates. We introduce you to families in Paddington and neighbouring areas such as Bayswater, Little Venice, Lisson Grove, Maida Vale, St. Marylebone and Marylebone and Westminster, we handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work on placement.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their work.
• People comfortable living in someone else’s home, supporting daily routines, medication prompts, personal care and companionship.
• Carers who prefer being self-employed — choosing clients, setting hours and managing travel to placements across London and beyond.

Requirements to join are simple and clear: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We don’t place you into short-term shifts; this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Paddington and nearby boroughs in Westminster and the City.

Applying takes minutes: build your profile, upload ID and references, and we typically have profiles live within days after verification. Once live, you can start reviewing client requests and agreeing terms that suit you. Many carers who move from agency work find this way of operating gives them better work-life balance and clearer boundaries while still delivering high-quality care in Paddington and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
