Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Sutton

If you want live-in work in Sutton where you can manage your own time and income, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and choose the ones that suit them. Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency constraints and take control of the way they work. As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, depending on experience and the agreed duties; many carers use £18.80–£20.39 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day rates when they live in.

What live-in care involves: you’ll be part of someone's daily life — helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility and companionship. You are present through the day and night with agreed rest periods and time off, and you and the family agree a routine before starting. Travel and reasonable relocation for a placement are often part of live-in roles, and carers come from across the UK to take on longer-term stays in Sutton and surrounding areas including Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Lower Morden, Morden Park and Morden.

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward for self-employed carers: we find clients, handle contracts, invoices and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That administrative support means you can focus on care, not paperwork.

• Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Flexibility: choose day rates or hourly work, set your own boundaries and agree breaks with the family beforehand.
• Practicalities: you manage travel to placements and any agreed expenses; PrimeCarers supports contracts and payment processing.

Applying takes minutes — fill in a profile, upload ID and references and we verify your documents. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable live-in opportunities in Sutton and Greater London quickly. If you’re used to agency life but want more control and clearer terms, PrimeCarers is built for carers who prefer to work independently while keeping the practical support they need.
