Description

Looking for live-in care work in South Harrow that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need overnight and around-the-clock support in their own homes. Live-in care means you live with a client, support daily routines and provide companionship and personal care with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and many find the role rewarding and flexible. Right now, 113 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a PrimeCarers carer you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to work with and decide your hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges shown as £18.80–£20.20 per hour and £145–£160 per day so you can quote clearly when you apply. We do not offer one single job here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across South Harrow and the wider Harrow area.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You’ll be supporting everyday living: personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship, mobility assistance and household tasks that help a person remain at home. Live-in roles include periods of active care as well as agreed breaks, and you and the family agree routines before you start. Many carers who leave agency work appreciate the stability and closer relationships that live-in care brings.

PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. You choose your clients and service area — whether you prefer South Harrow or nearby locations such as West Harrow, Harrow on the Hill, Rayners Lane, North Harrow, Eastcote and Northolt — and you keep the final say on every placement.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it). Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We’ll support you through verification and with clear information so you can start choosing live-in roles that fit your life.

If you’re ready for a more autonomous way to work in South Harrow — setting your own rates, shaping your hours and building relationships with clients — create your profile today. It’s quick to apply and puts you in control of your live-in care options around South Harrow and across Harrow.
