Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with live-in care opportunities in Harold Park and across Havering. Live-in care means you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off built into the arrangement. This listing page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities — not a single post. Right now, 112 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Typical duties include personal care, medication prompts, mealtime support, companionship, light household tasks and working with families and visiting professionals to keep routines stable. Live-in placements attract carers who value continuity of care and the chance to build trusted relationships. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in roles and stay for agreed periods; you choose whether to accept long-term or shorter-term placements.
As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and the area you’ll serve. Pay is flexible and market-led — many carers on the platform work within £148–£164 per day while negotiating terms that suit them. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. You remain in control of the work you accept and how you organise your breaks and rest.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work: people with a minimum of one year’s professional care experience who are confident supporting personal care, mobility assistance and household routines. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We recommend being clear about your availability and any travel plans when you set up your profile.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and our team will verify your details — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once you’re live, we’ll match you with families in Harold Park and neighbouring areas like Harold Wood, Harold Hill, Gallows Corner, Noak Hill, Ardleigh Green and Emerson Park and beyond in Havering. You stay self-employed, set your own terms and choose the placements that fit your life.
