Description
Live-in care in West Hampstead means being part of someone's home and daily life: you live with a client in their house, support routines around the clock and take agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, working in comfortable, familiar neighbourhoods in and around West Hampstead, including visits to nearby areas when needed.
Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This platform is for experienced, self-employed carers who want more control. You choose your clients, hours and service area and set your own rates. Typical compensation for care shifts varies; see £18.80–£20.10 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.
