Description

Live-in care in Golders Green gives experienced carers the chance to live with a client and support day-to-day life around the clock, with agreed breaks and time away. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities: you choose who you work with, set your own hours and travel for placements from across the country when it suits you.

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

As a live-in carer you'll help with routines such as personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship and mobility assistance, plus light household tasks where agreed. Many clients in Golders Green want continuity and a calm, reliable presence; live-in placements can suit carers who prefer deeper relationships and fewer handovers than shift-based care.

This kind of work suits carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience and who like planning their day around an individual’s needs. Carers travel from other towns and counties to take live-in roles, and placements often cover Golders Green, nearby areas and further afield — including Temple Fortune, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Childs Hill, Brent Cross, Cricklewood and West Hendon — so flexibility with location can open more options. Enfield-based carers will also find matching opportunities close to home.

Pay and flexibility are central to how PrimeCarers works. Carers on the platform are self-employed, set their own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on the support required and the hours agreed. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

  • What you need to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience;
  • Checks and ID: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references;
  • Practicalities: willingness to live in a client’s home for the agreed period, follow agreed breaks and time off, and travel when a placement requires it.

PrimeCarers is set up for carers moving away from agency models: you keep control of your rates and who you work with while we handle the paperwork and payments. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your references and checks, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You decide which enquiries to accept and how far you'll travel, whether you live locally in Golders Green or come from elsewhere to take a live-in role. Enfield carers and those from surrounding areas often find roles that fit their availability and preferences.
