Description

Live-in care in Northolt means living with a client in their home and supporting their day-to-day routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. If you have experience and can travel for placements, PrimeCarers lists ongoing self-employed opportunities across Northolt and the surrounding part of Hillingdon. Right now, 108 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who want more control than agency work allows. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical ranges are £18.80–£20.60 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a live-in day, but you decide the final figure when you create your profile. Many carers who take live-in placements travel from outside the immediate area to work in Northolt, and placements often cover nearby towns such as Brompton, South Ruislip, Greenford, South Harrow, Yeading and Rayners Lane.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles the practical bits: contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That lets you focus on the care. You remain fully self-employed and manage your availability and breaks directly with the family you choose to work for.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced carers: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We verify these quickly so your profile can go live within days once checks are complete. Many carers leave agency routines for the flexibility of live-in work in Northolt and elsewhere in Hillingdon.

How the live-in day works varies by client. In general you'll support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility and companionship, and night support as agreed. You and the family agree working hours and breaks before you start. You choose placements that fit your experience and preferences.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload references and DBS, confirm your right to work and choose the areas you’ll cover. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you want more control over the work you do in Northolt and across Hillingdon, live-in roles on PrimeCarers let you take that next step while keeping the admin and payments handled for you.
