Live-in Carer Jobs in St Lukes

Live-in care in St Lukes means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience and steadiness to people who prefer to stay at home. Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. You choose clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical pay sits within £145–£160 per day, with more detail available about hourly and live-in day ranges below. Live-in work often involves personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship and maintaining a safe, comfortable home routine — always with agreed rest periods and time off.

PrimeCarers supports you while you remain self-employed. We find clients for you, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on a placement. That means you can focus on care: agreeing routines with families in St Lukes, liaising on best practice, and delivering consistent, person-centred support across Islington and surrounding areas including Barbican, Finsbury, Hoxton, Custom House, Farringdon and Shoreditch.

What we ask for to join: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We do not post one-off jobs here — PrimeCarers advertises ongoing live-in roles that suit carers who want steady placements and clarity about responsibilities and breaks. Carers travelling into St Lukes from other towns regularly take live-in posts and are supported through set-up and handover.

Pay and flexibility: you remain self-employed and set your own rates within the local market. Use £18.80–£20 per hour as a guide if you prefer hourly care, or £145–£160 per day for day-rate expectations on live-in work. PrimeCarers handles invoicing and payments so receipts are straightforward and professional, letting you keep control without administrative hassle.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, submit your documents and references, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re an experienced carer ready to move away from agency shift patterns and into reliable live-in placements in St Lukes and greater Islington, PrimeCarers makes the process straightforward and supportive.
