Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in South Hackney

Work as a live-in care assistant in South Hackney and support someone in their own home by living with them and helping with daily routines, meals, medication reminders and companionship. Live-in care means you're on hand around the clock with agreed breaks and time off; many carers travel from across the country for these placements, bringing experience and stability to families in South Hackney.

Right now, 112 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than they had in agencies. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay for roles like these sits at £148–£165 per day, with £18.89–£21.20 per hour for hourly work and £148–£165 per day for live-in day rates depending on the arrangement. You’ll be trusted to shape the support you give and to work with families who value continuity.

Working in South Hackney often means caring for people with long-term needs, dementia or mobility challenges who want to remain at home. You’ll support practical daily tasks, personal care, social activity and household routines while keeping the client’s independence and dignity central. This work fits carers who are calm, observant, flexible and used to making professional decisions on their own.

PrimeCarers does the client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed: you can accept or decline offers, plan your diary and travel from elsewhere for a placement if you prefer. Many of our carers live outside London but commit to South Hackney live-ins for blocks of time — travel and overnight arrangements are agreed with families up front.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We’ll walk you through verification quickly: creating a profile takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed. We also support paperwork so you can focus on the care.

If you know South Hackney and nearby areas like Bethnal Green, Victoria Park, Cambridge Heath, Bow, Stepney and Homerton, or you’re willing to travel in for a live-in placement, setting up a PrimeCarers profile is straightforward. You’ll keep control of your rates and hours, receive prompt payments, and work with families who value experienced, professional carers.
