Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Silvertown

Live-in Care Assistant opportunities in Silvertown for experienced, self-employed carers who want more control. Live-in work means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and often travelling from across the country for placements. You set your own terms, choose who you work with and can balance longer stays with time at home.

Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the role looks like: you’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, mobility support and maintaining a safe home environment. Live-in shifts are about consistency: becoming a trusted presence in someone’s life and adapting routines so the person can be as independent as possible. Many carers value the deeper relationships and predictability that come with live-in support in Silvertown and surrounding areas like Charlton, North Woolwich, Woolwich, Westcombe Park, Canning Town and Plaistow.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and have at least a year of professional care experience. It suits people who value continuity of care, can live in a client’s home respectfully, and who want to set their own working patterns. If you’re used to flexible problem-solving and building rapport, live-in roles in Silvertown can be very rewarding. Newham offers a steady demand for this kind of support and placements vary in length and intensity.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for this kind of role are £145–£160 per day. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and can decide whether to take short stays or longer placements. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You won’t be tied to a rota; instead you’ll agree terms directly with the client and PrimeCarers supports the paperwork side so you can focus on care.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes and many carers’ profiles go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and pick the clients that suit you. If you’re already caring in Silvertown, or travel in from further away, PrimeCarers makes the administrative side simple so you can concentrate on providing great live-in care.
