Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Thamesmead

If you’re an experienced carer ready to move away from agency shifts, live-in care in Thamesmead offers steady, one-to-one work where you live with a client and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in the area and find the continuity rewarding. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity — not a single post. You set your own rates and terms (typical ranges are £148–£164 per day), choose which clients and hours suit you, and decide the areas you’ll cover. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Live-in roles suit carers who want deeper relationships and a predictable base of care in Thamesmead and nearby neighbourhoods.

Live-in care means being present in a client’s home to support personal care, mobility, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household routines, while taking agreed daily and weekly breaks. Many carers based outside London travel to Thamesmead and surrounding areas for placements, and you can also consider calls in nearby towns such as Creekmouth, Abbey Wood, Crossness, Beckton, Plumstead and North Woolwich.

Who this suits

• Experienced carers — you’ll have at least a year of professional care experience and be comfortable providing hands-on, personalised support.
• People wanting control — if you’re looking to move away from rota-driven agency work and set your own hours and fees, this model gives you that freedom.
• Those happy to travel — many placements in and around Thamesmead and Greenwich attract carers from across the country for longer stays.

Requirements to join

• At least one year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once you’re listed, you can review potential clients, agree terms and start conversations directly. PrimeCarers supports you with clear contracts, invoicing and prompt payments, so you can focus on the care you provide rather than admin. If you want purposeful, flexible live-in work in Thamesmead and the Greenwich borough, creating a profile is the first easy step toward more control and better continuity of care.
