Description
Live-in care roles in Harefield suit experienced, reliable carers who are comfortable living with a client in their home and supporting day-to-day routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Placements often involve personal care, medication prompting, meal support, light household tasks and companionship — with long periods of companionship as well as clearly defined rest and break times. Right now, 110 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These opportunities are ongoing and self-employed: you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on the needs of the household and the responsibilities agreed with a family. Many carers who move to live-in work travel from across the country for longer placements and enjoy the continuity of working closely with one family.
PrimeCarers finds you clients in and around Harefield and across Hillingdon, handles the contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. That support means you can focus on care while keeping control of your working life. You keep the freedom of self-employment: choose which households you accept, agree your hours and manage your diary.
To join you’ll need at least one year of recent professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is also required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We verify documents and references quickly; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Live-in roles in Harefield vary. Some families need full overnight support with agreed sleep/rest periods; others want more daytime assistance with evening cover. Expect to discuss exact duties, breaks and any travel arrangements with each family before you accept a placement. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you work with and how much you earn, live-in work through PrimeCarers is a practical next step.
Many of our placements are centered on Harefield and nearby communities such as Northwood, Rickmansworth, Ickenham, Ruislip, Uxbridge and Chorleywood. If you’re ready to choose your clients and work on your terms, it only takes a few minutes to create a profile and start seeing matches.
