Description
Live-in care roles in Childs Hill suit skilled, compassionate carers who want more control over their work. These roles involve living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and wellbeing around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and PrimeCarers supports the match and paperwork. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
What you’ll do: provide personal care, help with medicines, meal support, companionship and household assistance so a person can stay safely at home. Live-in care is about steady, relationship-based support — you’ll be present overnight and on hand during the day, with scheduled rest and agreed breaks. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in and around Childs Hill, including nearby areas such as Golders Green, Frognal, Cricklewood, West Hampstead, Hamstead and Hampstead and towns across Enfield district.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want to move away from agency constraints and set their own working patterns. Many carers already on PrimeCarers travel to Childs Hill from other parts of the UK for placements because live-in roles often need continuity that suits long-term carers. You choose your clients, hours and the service area you cover, and you set your own rates — typical ranges are £148–£165 per day depending on the role and client needs.
Pay and flexibility: live-in pay is usually discussed per day and per hour depending on duties. Typical ranges you’ll see on the platform are £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly-care work and £148–£165 per day for live-in days. As a self-employed carer you invoice for your time, and PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work on placements found by PrimeCarers.
Requirements to apply: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single job here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Childs Hill and nearby parts of Enfield and beyond.
How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Upload your experience and references, complete the checks and your profile normally goes live within days of verification. Once live you can browse live-in roles, message families and decide which placements fit your needs and availability.
