Description

Live-in care in Walworth means living in a client’s home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Placements suit experienced carers who want continuity of care, closer relationships with the people they support, and the stability of a single home base. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements to Walworth and the wider Southwark area because the work can be deeply rewarding and structured to fit your life.

Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single role. As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and manage the day‑to‑day of the placement. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Live-in pay varies by agreement and responsibility; typical ranges are shown when you apply and we also display £145–£160 per day so you can decide what works for you.

Live-in duties often include personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and supporting daily routines. You’ll work with families and clients to agree a rota of awake and sleep-in periods and planned breaks. The work suits carers who prefer continuity, can manage overnight presence responsibly, and want more control than traditional agency shifts.

Who we’re looking for

  • 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.
  • A readiness to travel for placements; many live-in carers come to Walworth from other parts of the UK.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll see client details and place limits on location and hours before agreeing to any placement. You stay in control of your availability and the people you work with. You may cover Walworth and nearby areas like Elephant and Castle, Kennington, Burgess Park, Oval, Camberwell and Newington.

If you’re ready to move away from rotating agency shifts and want clearer control of your time, rates and working relationships, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started. Create your profile, upload references and DBS, and we’ll verify you so families can find you. Live-in placements are ongoing opportunities for those who prefer depth of care over short shifts.
