Description

Live-in care in Rickmansworth means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility, companionship and household tasks that keep someone safe and well at home. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for weeks or months depending on the arrangement. Right now, 102 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you are used to agency work but want more control, PrimeCarers is built for experienced, self-employed carers. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for these roles are £145–£160 per day, with daytime hourly work usually in the range £18.80–£21.50 per hour and full live-in day rates often shown as £145–£160 per day. You decide whether to take short-term stays or longer placements in Rickmansworth and the surrounding area, including Chorleywood, Harefield, Northwood, Watford, Hatch End and Ruislip.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the practical side: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you work on a placement. That means less admin for you and a clear, professional agreement for each placement. Many carers who join PrimeCarers value the combination of professional backing and the freedom to run their care as they choose.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for the documents needed to verify your profile so families can see you’re trustworthy and experienced. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start being matched quickly if you want to.

Live-in work suits carers who are comfortable living in someone else’s home, who value continuity of care and who want to build a close working relationship with a family. If you prefer to remain self-employed but want support with contracts and payments, and the option to set your own terms, PrimeCarers can help you find suitable matches across Rickmansworth and Hertfordshire.

To apply, create a profile, upload your checks and references and tell us the kind of live-in work you prefer. You’ll be able to review potential matches and accept only the placements that fit you. If you’re ready to take more control of your care work in Rickmansworth, it really does only take a few minutes to start.
