Description

Looking for live‑in care placements in Enfield that fit your life and experience? Live‑in Care Assistants on PrimeCarers live with a client in their own home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for placements and stay for as long as the match suits both parties. Right now, 117 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self‑employed carer you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day. For reference, hourly care listings on the site usually display £18.80–£20 per hour and live‑in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day. You’ll pick roles that match your skills and the level of support you want to provide, whether that’s personal care, medication prompts, mobility assistance or companionship and routine support.

This type of work suits experienced care professionals who value continuity, deeper relationships and the freedom to manage how they work. Enfield families need carers who can be calm, adaptable and respectful of household routines. Placements often cover areas across Enfield including Enfield Town, Ponders End, Bulls Cross, Winchmore Hill, Enfield Highway and Enfield Wash and wider parts of Greater London.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on a placement. You remain self‑employed at all times and keep control over your work pattern and fees.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of checks and references being completed.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control — choosing who you work with, setting your rates and keeping more of what you earn — live‑in roles through PrimeCarers could be a good next step. You’ll be matched with families in Enfield and nearby towns, and free to accept or decline placements so each match fits your expectations.
