Description

Live-in care in Aldridge means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, taking agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility and companionship, adapting to the household’s rhythms rather than fixed shift patterns. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements; many find the continuity and deeper relationships rewarding. Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Aldridge and nearby areas. You remain fully self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and manage your availability. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers set rates within £145–£160 per day, adjusting for experience and the needs of a live-in placement. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life offers. If you prefer steady nights in one home, building familiarity with a person’s routine and family, live-in work in Aldridge and the wider West Midlands can be a good fit. Placements often require flexibility and resilience, and they reward discretion, warmth and practical skill.
