Live-in Carer Jobs in Southfields

Live‑in care in Southfields means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements and stay for anything from a few weeks to longer ongoing arrangements. PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families in Southfields and the wider Wandsworth area, letting you decide where you will work and how you’ll be paid. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with more detailed ranges listed as £18.80–£20.10 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a full live‑in day. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Live‑in work is for experienced carers who are comfortable living in someone else’s home and managing routines from morning to night. You’ll support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance and companionship, and you’ll agree rest breaks and time off with each family before you commit. Many carers who move from agency shifts to self‑employed live‑in roles on PrimeCarers value the continuity of working closely with one family and the control over their working life.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly: applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can state travel preferences — some families in Southfields welcome carers who travel in from other towns such as Earlsfield, Putney, Roehampton, Tooting Bec, Tooting and Wimbledon — and you remain free to accept or decline any placement.

If you’re tired of fixed rotas and restrictive agency terms but want the security of contracts, invoicing and insurance taken care of, PrimeCarers could be the next step. Create a profile, choose the live‑in roles that fit your skills and availability, and work directly with families while remaining self‑employed and in control.
