Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Crouch End and across Haringey who need compassionate live-in support. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for these placements.
Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of role suits someone with solid hands-on experience who wants more control than typical agency work. You’ll be supporting day-to-day life: personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship and household routines, plus any agreed mobility or clinical tasks within your scope of practice. Live-in placements often use a day-rate structure — typical ranges are £145–£160 per day — and for hourly care you’ll commonly see £18.80–£20 per hour depending on responsibilities and the client’s needs. You can also set your own rates and choose which offers you accept; on PrimeCarers carers normally work within a £145–£160 per day framework but decide what works for them.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care and relationships rather than paperwork. You’re self-employed: you set your own hours, select clients and define your service area. Many carers from outside London come into Crouch End and nearby neighbourhoods such as Hornsey, Harringay, Turnpike Lane, Muswell Hill, Wood Green and Upper Holloway for live-in roles that fit their skills and availability.
- Who we need: at least 1 year of professional care experience and verifiable references.
- Checks: an Enhanced DBS check is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
- Right to work: you must have the legal right to work in the UK.
- Professional approach: reliable, respectful, and able to work independently in someone’s home.
Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re an experienced carer in Crouch End thinking about leaving agency shifts for more autonomy, or you travel into London for meaningful long-term placements, PrimeCarers can make that change straightforward. Create your profile, upload references and DBS, and start viewing live-in opportunities that suit your lifestyle and skills. We welcome carers across Crouch End and Haringey who want to work with dignity and flexibility.
