Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Oakleigh Park

Live-in care in Oakleigh Park gives experienced carers the chance to support someone daily while living in their home. You’ll help with routines, companionship, personal care and household tasks, while taking agreed breaks so you can rest and recharge. Many placements are local to Oakleigh Park and Enfield, and carers travel from across the country for live-in roles when it suits them. Right now, 122 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits carers who value continuity and deeper relationships with clients: people who prefer knowing the household, the routines and the family rather than short shifts. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own approach — you choose which clients to accept, the hours you want and the service area you cover. Typical rates for this kind of work are £145–£160 per day depending on the needs of the client and the agreement you reach.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can concentrate on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on an assignment. That practical support lets many carers move away from agency rosters without swapping one kind of paperwork for another.

Minimum requirements to join are clear and straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already hold training such as NVQ/Care Certificate or medicines training, include that on your profile — it helps families match on specific needs.

Oakleigh Park is well placed for live-in roles, with nearby towns including Whetstone, Brunswick Park, Barnet, East Barnet, Totteridge and North Finchley offering additional choices for placements and shorter travel if you prefer to work close to home. Many carers combining travel with live-in work find they can arrange blocks of bookings that fit family life, study or other commitments.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and DBS details (or request one through us) and your profile will usually go live within days of verification. Once live you can start reviewing enquiries and arranging interviews with families who match your values and skills. If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and take more control of your working life in Oakleigh Park and across Enfield, PrimeCarers can make the transition practical and supported.
