Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Temple

Live-in care in Temple means living alongside someone in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll deliver personal care, medication reminders, mealtime help, companionship and household support that keeps people independent in a familiar setting. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often cover areas close to central London, including Aldwych, Blackfriars, Holborn, Covent Garden, Charing Cross and Lee. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This type of role suits experienced carers who want continuity of care and deeper relationships with the people they support. If you’re used to agency shift work but want more control over where you go and who you work with, live-in placements in Temple and nearby parts of Camden offer long stretches of meaningful support rather than short, fragmented shifts. You’ll be expected to follow a client’s daily routine, liaise with families or professionals and keep clear records while respecting a household’s privacy.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for these roles is around £145–£160 per day, although you choose the rate that reflects your experience and the demands of a placement. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You keep the freedom of self-employment while we take care of the admin side.

To join you’ll need 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. We check these quickly so you can start being matched without months of waiting. Live-in work requires practical resilience, good boundaries and clear communication with families — we encourage carers to ask about expectations on travel, breaks, access to private space and any specialist care needs before confirming a placement.

Applying takes minutes: build a profile, upload documents and tell us what you’re willing to do and where you can travel. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active, we’ll introduce you to suitable families and support you through any contract conversations. If you’re ready to move away from agency rota constraints and take more control of your care work in Temple and surrounding neighbourhoods, PrimeCarers makes that transition practical and secure.
