Description

Live-in care in Pelham gives experienced carers the chance to support someone at home while living nearby with agreed breaks. You’ll help with daily routines, companionship, personal care and household tasks around the clock as agreed with a family. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements to find the right match in Pelham and the surrounding area.

Right now, 113 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers is for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area, and many carers use live-in work to create stable fortnightly or monthly blocks. Typical pay can vary by client and support needs; you’ll see guidance such as £148–£163.50 per day and more specific figures like £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly visits or £148–£163.50 per day for a live-in day. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working with a client.

This kind of role suits experienced, adaptable carers who are comfortable living in someone’s home for agreed periods and who value independence in how they run their time. Live-in work in Pelham often involves supporting morning and evening routines, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility assistance and being on hand for companionship and wellbeing overnight where needed. Carers travelling from other parts of the UK find placements in Pelham attractive for the community feel and easy access to nearby towns such as Elstree, Stanmore, Borehamwood, Bushey, Edgware and Harrow Weald.

To join PrimeCarers you need 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. We do not place you as staff of an organisation; these are self-employed opportunities and you remain in control of your workload. Applying takes minutes, and once your ID and references are verified your profile typically goes live within days.

If you’re ready to move away from the rota-led agency model, live-in roles in Pelham could let you build longer, more personal relationships with families while keeping the flexibility to set your terms. Create a profile, choose the clients you want to work with, and let PrimeCarers handle the admin so you can focus on good care.
