Description
Looking for live-in care work in West Norwood that gives you genuine continuity and control? Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and clear boundaries. Many experienced carers travel from across the country for live-in placements when they want deeper, more flexible work with one family. Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers. You set your own rates, choose clients, hours and the service area you’ll accept. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Carers who are thinking of moving away from agency rotas often appreciate the continuity of live-in care and the chance to build a strong working relationship with one household.
What live-in work looks like: everyday support with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and keeping routines running smoothly. You’ll provide care through the night as agreed, with scheduled rest breaks and time off. Live-in placements around West Norwood and across Lambeth can be varied — some need extra experience with dementia or complex needs, others focus on companionship and practical help.
Pay & flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates.
