Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Dollis Hill who need live‑in support. Live‑in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and can choose how far they are willing to travel and which clients to accept. Right now, 109 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live‑in roles typically involve personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and keeping a safe, comfortable environment. This kind of work suits carers who prefer continuity of care, building relationships, and a predictable household routine. Many carers coming from agency work choose live‑in placements for the deeper connection with the person they support and the chance to shape daily life rather than short shifts.
Pay and flexibility: as a PrimeCarers freelancer you set your own rates, and many carers advertise within £148–£164 per day. You can offer hourly support or live‑in day rates depending on what you agree with the family — see typical ranges £19–£21.30 per hour and £148–£164 per day. You decide which clients, hours and service area suit you, so you keep control of your work‑life balance.
Requirements to join are straightforward. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify paperwork quickly so your profile can be active in days once checks are complete.
If you’re currently working through an agency or privately and want more control over your rates and clients, PrimeCarers makes the switch simple. We find families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement — you focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
We regularly connect carers with families across Brent and nearby neighbourhoods including Willesden, Brent Park, Neasden, Cricklewood, Harlesden and Kensal Green — and, of course, all around Dollis Hill itself. If you want to discuss travel for a long‑distance live‑in placement or prefer local Dollis Hill posts, you control what you accept. Create a profile, set your terms and start choosing the clients that fit your skills and life.
