Description
Live-in care in Ashted puts you at the heart of someone's daily life: you live with a client in their home, support routines around the clock and take agreed breaks while remaining self-employed and in control of decisions about your work. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and living locally in Ashted makes you a natural fit for families looking for continuity and familiarity. Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a PrimeCarers live-in care assistant you choose who you work with, which hours you accept and the area you cover. You set your own rate with typical ranges of £146–£162 per day and you can balance longer day-based live-in work with local hourly support if you prefer. PrimeCarers handles the client matching, creates the contract, manages invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.
The role suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency payrolls and towards self-employment without giving up administrative support. Live-in care involves personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship and helping to keep daily routines running smoothly. Carers must be comfortable living in someone else’s home for agreed periods, respecting household rules and privacy while delivering consistent, compassionate care.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. Many live-in carers travel from other parts of the UK to take placements in Ashted and neighbouring areas such as Nechells, Saltley, Aston, Gravelly Hill, Duddeston and Alum Rock. You remain self-employed, so you manage tax and National Insurance yourself and set the hours that suit you.
Applying takes just minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and add references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and PrimeCarers will start showing you relevant local enquiries once your checks are complete. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over pay, clients and working patterns, live-in care through PrimeCarers can give you the flexibility you want while removing much of the paperwork.
