Live-in Carer Jobs in Westerham

Live-in Carer Jobs in Westerham are for experienced, self-employed carers who want more control over the work they do and who they work with. Live-in care means living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. Right now, 94 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you decide your hours, set your own rates and pick the clients who suit you. Many carers choose long-stay live-in roles around Westerham and neighbouring areas such as Sundridge, Aperfield, Cudham, Biggin Hill, Downe and Edenbridge, while others travel in for short to medium-term placements. You can expect to discuss rates openly with families — many carers list figures in the range £145–£160 per day depending on experience and duties. If you prefer day-only live-in cover or part-time care, you can advertise those options too and use £18.80–£20 per hour or £145–£160 per day as guides.

This role suits somebody with at least a year of professional care experience who is comfortable supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation and companionship, and who can manage the rhythms of someone’s home. Live-in shifts require stamina and good judgement: you’ll support daily routines, help with mobility and safety, and be the person families rely on day and night, while taking agreed rest periods. Many carers who move from agency work find the direct relationships and predictable patterns of live-in care around Westerham more rewarding.

PrimeCarers removes much of the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find you clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. As a self-employed carer you’re responsible for your own tax and National Insurance; our team will explain how invoicing works and what to consider. You set your area of work and accept placements that fit your availability — this is flexible working that keeps you in control.

To join you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
