Live-in Carer Jobs in Shadwell

Live-in care in Shadwell means living in with a client in their home and supporting day-to-day life around the clock with agreed breaks. Many placements are close to the local streets you know, and carers travel from across the country for live-in roles; you'll work with people who value continuity and companionship as much as practical support. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Work typically involves helping with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, mobility support, meal prep, companionship and keeping the home safe and comfortable. Live-in care suits experienced carers who prefer continuity, strong relationships and predictable routines rather than shift-by-shift work. You will be expected to deliver professional care while respecting a client's home and privacy.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and can travel to Shadwell or nearby areas such as Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, Stepney, Tower Hill and Ratcliff. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day for comparable roles, and live-in day rates are shown on profiles so families can see what you charge. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

This route is a good fit if you have at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references so families can book with confidence and so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes and most carers' profiles go live within days of verification. You're not applying for one fixed placement here; this page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Shadwell and Tower Hamlets, and families reach out when your profile matches their needs.

If you're considering leaving agency shifts or want more control over your work-life balance, joining through PrimeCarers lets you keep professional autonomy while we handle the paperwork. Create a clear profile, indicate your availability for live-in work and decide which clients you'd accept before saying yes to any booking.

How to proceed: sign up, upload ID and references, and tell us the kind of live-in placements you’ll accept. We’ll verify your details, list your profile and introduce you to families looking for the continuity and experience you offer in Shadwell. Profiles typically appear within days and you remain fully self-employed throughout.
