Description
Live-in care in The Hyde means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers choose live-in work because it lets them build close relationships, work predictably and travel to short- or long-term placements from across the country. Typical live-in day rates and hourly options are available to set by you; many carers find the flexibility suits their life while they still deliver reliable, skilled care in people's homes in The Hyde and nearby areas.
Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers. You choose which households you’ll work with, which hours to accept and the area you cover — whether you want clients in The Hyde, a few streets away in Brent or around Colindale, Hendon, West Hendon, Grahame Park, Kingsbury and Brent Cross (Colindale, Hendon, West Hendon, Grahame Park, Kingsbury and Brent Cross). We find families, handle contracts, invoices and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. Carers set their own rates; typical hourly and live-in ranges are £18.80–£20.10 per hour and £145–£160 per day, and many profiles sit within £145–£160 per day.
This role suits experienced, compassionate carers who are ready to take more control than agency work usually allows. You'll support personal care, medication prompts, daily routines, companionship, meal support and mobility assistance as agreed with each family. Live-in placements expect you to be present in the home; specific duties, rota for breaks and time off are agreed in each contract so you know what to expect before you travel.
To join PrimeCarers you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Because carers are self-employed, you set your own rate and choose the clients that suit you.
If you’re ready to move away from standard agency patterns and take control of your live-in work in The Hyde, create a profile today. The sign-up process is quick, straightforward and designed for experienced carers who value flexibility, clarity and reliable payments.
