Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Willesden who need live-in support. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks — you remain in control of how you organise your day and can agree breaks with the family. Right now, 110 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements attract carers who travel from across the country for longer stays, and they suit people who want continuity of care and deeper relationships with clients. Work typically covers personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and supporting daily routines. You can expect to plan day-to-day tasks with the family and agree rest periods so the role fits practical needs.

On PrimeCarers you're self-employed and set your own rates. You decide which clients to accept, which hours you work and the area you serve. Typical pay is within £148–£164 per day, with day and hourly ranges shown to help you set expectations: £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £148–£164 per day for live-in days. We don’t promise income, but we make it easy for experienced carers to present themselves directly to families in Willesden and nearby areas like Dollis Hill, Harlesden, Brent Park, Kensal Green, Cricklewood and Neasden.

PrimeCarers finds clients, draws up contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on a placement. That means less admin for you and more time for care. You remain responsible for tax and National Insurance as a self-employed professional.

To join you’ll 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 a DBS if you need one. We verify references and documents so profiles are trusted by families.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and choose your rates and availability. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review enquiries and accept placements that suit you. Many carers who currently work through PrimeCarers chose this route after agency work because it gives them flexibility and control while still connecting them to families in Willesden and across Brent.
