Description

If you’re an experienced carer looking for live-in work in Enfield Wash, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families so you can live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Live-in placements often attract carers who travel from across the country for longer stays and steady routines.

Right now, 107 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care in Enfield Wash means helping with personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and household routine across the day and night while respecting agreed rest breaks. You’ll work closely with one family, becoming their day-to-day support and an important part of their home life. Many carers value the continuity and deeper relationships that live-in work brings compared with shorter shifts.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover. Typical rates for this role are £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for the time you work, and insurance is included while you are on placement.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who want control over their work pattern and pay, and who can commit to living in someone’s home for an agreed period. Live-in care can be physically and emotionally demanding but also deeply rewarding if you prefer one-to-one support and predictable routines.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t recruit for a single post here — we advertise ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Enfield Wash and the wider borough of Enfield.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can review matching families, agree your hours and rates, and accept placements that suit you.

If you’re based in or near Enfield Wash or nearby areas such as Enfield Lock, Freezywater, Bulls Cross, Enfield Highway, Brimsdown and Ponders End, and you’re ready for a different way of working, PrimeCarers can help you move from agency-style shifts to live-in, self-directed care roles with the administrative support you need.
