Live-in Carer Jobs in Stamford Hill

Live-in care means you live with the person you support in their home — helping with daily routines, personal care, meals and companionship across the day and night, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay with clients in Stamford Hill and nearby neighbourhoods. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency rotas allow. If you’re used to managing care plans, building relationships and making practical decisions, live-in roles in Stamford Hill and across Hackney offer continuity of care and deeper connections with the families you support. You choose the clients you’ll work with, the hours you offer and the area you cover — whether you already live locally or are willing to travel in for a placement.

On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates and keep control. Many carers list within £145–£160 per day depending on experience and the support needed. You can also view typical hour and day ranges when discussing a placement: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds families, manages contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Working as a live-in carer involves practical day-to-day duties — personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation, mobility support, light household tasks and companionship. You’ll be living in someone’s home, so good communication, respect for privacy and the ability to work independently are essential. Placements often suit carers who want steadier hours and a closer working relationship than short shifts allow.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. PrimeCarers supports you through verification so profiles typically go live within days of submission.

If you’re based in Stamford Hill, travelling from Upper Clapton or Lower Clapton, or coming from further afield — Upper Clapton, Stoke Newington, West Hackney, Shacklewell, South Tottenham and Lower Clapton — live-in roles can be flexible around how long you stay and the breaks agreed with the family. Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload references and documents, and choose the clients that suit you. Once verified, PrimeCarers will introduce you to families and take care of contracts and payments so you can get on with providing great care.
