Description
Live-in care in Freezywater means living with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and rest periods. These roles suit experienced carers who want to work closely with one person or couple, build continuity of care and enjoy the rewards of deeper relationships. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for weeks or months depending on the family’s needs. Right now, 99 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed care professionals: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you cover. Many carers find typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on experience and duties. You can also compare £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly support and £145–£160 per day for full live-in days when deciding what to charge.
Live-in duties vary from companionship and personal care to medication prompts, meal preparation and supporting mobility. You’ll be expected to work with the client’s existing routines, liaise with family or healthcare professionals where needed, and record care notes. Agreed breaks are part of every live-in arrangement so you have time to rest while the client is cared for.
This kind of work suits carers who value relationship-led practice, steady blocks of work and the stability of staying in one home. It’s a good move if you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over who you work for and how you set your time. Many PrimeCarers carers based in London and beyond take placements in Freezywater and nearby areas such as Enfield Lock, Enfield Wash, Bulls Cross, Waltham Cross, Brimsdown and Enfield Highway.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you decide fees, negotiate hours and agree break patterns directly with the family. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if you don’t already have it. We also ask for a short online profile and quick ID checks so families can see your experience and values before they invite you to discuss a placement.
