Live-in Carer Jobs in Poplar

PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families in Poplar and across Tower Hamlets looking for live‑in support. Live‑in roles mean you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and being on hand round the clock with agreed breaks — many carers travel from other parts of the country for placements in Poplar. Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work looks like: you’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household safety, adapting to each person’s routine. Live‑in placements are flexible: you set your own working pattern within the family’s needs, and you can agree breaks and days off as part of the arrangement. Typical pay reflects the specialist nature of live‑in care and varies by placement; rates on PrimeCarers are set by carers themselves and typically fall in the range £145–£160 per day. Day rates for live‑in work usually sit around £145–£160 per day, while hourly care for other shifts is often within £18.80–£20 per hour.

Who this suits: if you have at least a year of professional care experience, a calm approach to supporting daily life, and you’re comfortable sharing a home respectfully, live‑in work could suit you. It’s a good step if you’re moving away from agency rota work and want more control over clients, hours and pay while keeping the practical support an agency would normally provide.

PrimeCarers support: carers on our platform are self‑employed and choose their own clients, hours and service area. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. That administrative support helps you concentrate on care rather than paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward: a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You remain self‑employed and set your own rates and terms when you accept a placement.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Upload your experience and references, complete verification, and profiles typically go live within days. You’ll then be able to browse and choose clients around Poplar, including in nearby areas such as Blackwall, Leamouth, Canary Wharf, Canning Town, Cubitt Town and Bromley-by-Bow.
