Description
Live-in care in Palmers Green means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for these placements, bringing continuity, companionship and practical support to people who want to stay at home in Palmers Green and the wider Enfield area.
Right now, 107 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These roles suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and regain control over their work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area. You set your own rates — many carers work within £145–£160 per day and often discuss hourly and live-in day rates with families using £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day as guides — but the final rate is up to you.
Live-in work typically includes helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support, household tasks and companionship. You’ll be part of a client’s daily life: supporting morning and evening routines, staying nearby overnight and taking agreed rest breaks. Placements in and around Palmers Green often cover nearby areas such as Southgate, Winchmore Hill, Arnos Grove, Bowes Park, Osidge and Bounds Green and other parts of Enfield.
PrimeCarers makes the running easier so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: choose who you’ll support and when.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help organise this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You will be asked to provide these as part of a short verification process so families can feel confident in your experience and suitability.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and documents, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families in Palmers Green and Enfield can view your profile and start conversations.
If you’re ready to take on meaningful, flexible live-in roles in Palmers Green — with the autonomy of self-employment and the administrative support of a platform that handles the paperwork — PrimeCarers is designed for you.
