Description
Live-in care in Highgate means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock while taking agreed breaks. You’ll work closely with a person or couple to help them stay independent in the neighbourhoods you know well, from central Highgate to nearby areas. Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Highgate and the wider Haringey borough. Carers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area — many people advertise their availability across Upper Holloway, Archway, Gospel Oak, Tufnell Park, Fortis Green and Muswell Hill and beyond. For live-in roles carers commonly travel from across the country to take placements, so flexibility and experience are valued.
Typical earnings vary by client and care needs; many carers list rates in the range £148–£165 per day depending on shift pattern and responsibilities. You can also compare typical hourly care or live-in day figures: £19–£21.30 per hour and £148–£165 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work with a family you find through the platform.
This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life offers. You’ll be the primary support in a household for daily routines, personal care, medication prompts, companionship, meals and light household tasks agreed with the family. Live-in placements require stamina, sensitivity and the ability to work independently for long stretches while taking agreed breaks.
Requirements to join PrimeCarers are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Because carers are self-employed, you manage your tax and NI arrangements, and you decide which clients and hours suit you.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your checks and references, and our verification team will review your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, families contact you directly through the platform and PrimeCarers supports the contract stage and payment handling, so you can focus on care.
If you’re an experienced carer based in or willing to travel to Highgate and Haringey who wants to set your own terms and work more independently, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to find ongoing live-in opportunities without agency restrictions.
