Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in St Pauls Cray

PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families who need live‑in support in St Pauls Cray and the wider Bromley area. Live‑in care means you’ll reside in a client’s home, supporting daily routines and overnight needs with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel to St Pauls Cray from across the country for placements because of the flexibility and closer working relationships with families. Right now, 117 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits seasoned carers who want more control than agency shift rosters allow. You’ll choose your clients, hours and service area, set your own rates and build longer term relationships rather than short single shifts. Live‑in days typically fall within the range £145–£160 per day, while hourly care is often within £18.80–£20 per hour and the broader market sits around £145–£160 per day. St Pauls Cray offers a mix of care needs, from companionship and personal care to dementia support and complex care where agreed arrangements allow.

What you’ll be doing

• Living in the client’s home and supporting daily routines, medication prompts, personal care and mobility assistance where required.
• Providing companionship, meal support, light household tasks and liaising with families and community services as needed.
• Working around agreed breaks so you have rest and time away from the home.

Who we’re looking for

• 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.

PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed: you set your rates, pick the clients you’ll work with and choose how far you’ll travel. Many carers find placements around St Pauls Cray and nearby areas such as St Mary Cray, Derry Downs, Petts Wood, Ruxley, Foots Cray and Orpington, and enjoy the stability of live‑in work compared with shift‑by‑shift agency patterns.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and get paid for the value and continuity you bring, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step to working in St Pauls Cray on terms that suit you.
