Description
Live-in care in Temple Fortune means living with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many placements are based in and around Temple Fortune and carers often travel from across the country for longer stays. You’ll provide companionship, help with personal care and medication prompts, assist with meals and household routines, and be the steady presence a family relies on. Right now, 118 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of role suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency shifts normally allow. If you’re thinking of stepping away from rota-based agency work, PrimeCarers lets you choose the people you work with and the hours that fit your life. Live-in placements can be local to Temple Fortune or a short trip from nearby areas such as Hampstead Garden Suburb, Golders Green, Finchley, Brent Cross, Childs Hill and West Hendon; Enfield-based families also use the service, so you may see opportunities stretching into Enfield if you’re open to travel.
