Live-in Carer Jobs in Hoddesdon

Live-in care in Hoddesdon means you live with a client in their home and support them with daily routines, overnight reassurance and agreed waking-night support while taking the agreed breaks. These placements suit experienced carers who prefer continuity of care and who are comfortable being the main daily presence in someone’s home. Right now, 118 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and Hoddesdon’s location in Hertfordshire makes it easy to cover nearby towns such as Broxbourne, Ware, Hertford, Cheshunt, Harlow and Waltham Cross. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay seen on the platform ranges from £145–£160 per day, with further details often expressed as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

This kind of work suits carers who want greater control than agency shifts usually allow. You’ll be providing personal care, companionship, medication prompts, meal support and household assistance where agreed. Live-in roles often involve long periods of companionship interspersed with agreed rest breaks; the degree of hands-on care varies by client and is arranged between you and the family.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on a placement. You remain self-employed at all times and are free to accept or decline matches. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which local families can contact you about roles around Hoddesdon and across Hertfordshire. If you’re used to agency routines but want more say over your working life, live-in care through PrimeCarers is a practical alternative that keeps you in control.
