Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Putney

Live-in care roles in Putney let you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. These placements suit experienced carers who want continuity of care and stronger relationships with the people they support across Putney and Wandsworth. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If this sounds like your next step, we ask for a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check these before your profile goes live so families can recruit with confidence.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for care roles sits in £148–£165 per day; for reference you’ll also see £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £148–£165 per day for live-in day rates on profiles. Live-in placements are usually agreed day-by-day for hours and breaks, and you remain free to accept or decline offers — we do not promise any specific income.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We cover Putney and nearby areas such as Southfields, Parsons Green, Fulham, Roehampton, Barnes and Sands End so you’ll see opportunities across the local patch as well as some placements that attract carers from further afield.

Many carers move to live-in work for steadier routines and closer partnerships with families. Travel for a live-in placement can be from anywhere in the country — carers often travel to stay with a client for weeks or months at a time, with agreed breaks and clear terms. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post; you remain in control of which clients you accept. If you’re an experienced carer looking to leave agency terms for more control and continuity in Putney or wider Wandsworth, set up a profile today — it only takes minutes to apply and you could be matched to local families within days.
