Description
Live-in care in Whitton offers experienced carers the chance to live with a client and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off built into each placement. Many carers travel from across the country to take on live-in roles, bringing trusted, experienced support into someone’s home in Whitton and the surrounding area, including Lampton, Feltham, Twickenham, Hanworth, Strawberry Hill and Hampton Hill.
Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who value autonomy and steady, closer relationships with the people they support. You’ll help with personal care, meal support, companionship, medication prompts and household routines. Live-in care is about being present, calm and reliable; shifts are continuous while you’re living in the client’s home, with rest and break patterns agreed before you start.
On PrimeCarers you set your own terms — you are self-employed, you choose your clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover, and you set your rates. Typical rates for roles like these are £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
To join we ask for 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 do not refer one-off shifts here — these are ongoing placements where you live with and support someone on a daily basis. You’ll discuss agreed breaks and time off with the family before you accept a placement.
If you currently work with an agency and are thinking about more control over your hours and earnings, live-in work through PrimeCarers can be a good next step. Many carers who switch value the deeper relationships with clients and the predictability of living placements, whether they’re based in Whitton, elsewhere in Hounslow borough or come from further afield.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and tell us about your experience. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and PrimeCarers will support you through matching and paperwork so you can move on to care quickly and confidently.
