Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Upper Norwood

Live-in care in Upper Norwood is for experienced, compassionate carers who want to live alongside a client and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll be choosing placements that suit your skills and lifestyle — carers often travel from across the country for live-in roles and bring the flexibility of self-employed work to local households in Upper Norwood. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Upper Norwood and nearby areas such as Crystal Palace, Gipsy Hill, Anerley, Upper Sydenham, Sydenham and West Norwood. You set your own rates and decide which clients, hours and service area fit you. Typical pay for similar roles sits within £148–£164 per day; many carers use £19–£21.30 per hour for hourly care and £148–£164 per day as a guide for live-in days when setting their own figures.

What the work involves: living with a client in their home and supporting everyday life — personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and help with mobility or household tasks as agreed. Live-in work is continuous care with scheduled rest breaks and time away; it suits carers who prefer deep familiarity with one household and the stability that comes with round-the-clock support. You'll find placements across Upper Norwood and the wider Lambeth area, often requiring travel for arrival and end of placement.

Who this suits: experienced professionals used to person-centred care, good at building relationships and managing routines independently. It’s a strong option if you’re thinking of moving away from agency work and want more control over which clients you accept, how you charge and the areas you serve — including Upper Norwood and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references
