Description
Live-in care assistants based in West Drayton support a person in their own home, living with them and helping with daily routines, personal care and companionship. Shifts are arranged around the clock with agreed breaks, and many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements into West Drayton and the Hillingdon area. Right now, 111 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want more control than agency life gives. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, the hours you’ll work and your service area. You set your own rates and can expect typical ranges such as £145–£160 per day depending on the role and responsibilities. You can also compare typical hourly and live-in day ranges on the platform to find work that fits your needs: £18.89–£21.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on caring rather than paperwork. Many carers joining from agency or bank roles tell us they value the clearer contracts and direct relationships with families in West Drayton and nearby communities including Burroughs, The, Yiewsley, Sipson, Harmondsworth, Hayes and Longford.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check these quickly so you can begin choosing clients as soon as your profile is verified.
How to apply: creating a PrimeCarers profile takes minutes and you control the information families see. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families while you retain control over which bookings to accept. If you’re ready for live-in care roles that give you flexibility and autonomy in Hillingdon and across the region, this platform is built to help you make the move.
