Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Westminster and the surrounding boroughs. Live-in care means you live in the client’s home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, and often travel from across the country to take on placements. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Day to day your role can include personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and helping with mobility and routines. Live-in shifts are about steadiness and relationship-based support: you’ll be part of someone’s daily life while having agreed rest periods and time off. Many of our live-in carers travel into Westminster from elsewhere, and placements are also available near Millbank, Pimlico, St Jamess, London, Belgravia and Charing Cross and across Greater London.

This work suits experienced carers who value control and continuity. If you’re used to agency systems but want to choose your clients, hours and area, live-in care through PrimeCarers gives that freedom while keeping admin simple. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates vary by client and needs: £145–£160 per day for care work, with common ranges for hourly care at £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates at £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, accept the clients you want and manage your availability. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly so you can start seeing suitable live-in matches without lengthy delays.

If you want regular, relationship-led work in Westminster — with the independence to set your terms and the support of a platform that handles the paperwork — PrimeCarers is built for you. Create your profile, choose the live-in placements that suit you, and keep the control over your work that you deserve.
