Description
Live-in care in Aston means living with a client in their home to support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take on live-in placements and bring continuity and companionship to people who need steady support. Right now, 96 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Live-in roles typically pay in the range £145–£161 per day, with more detail available on typical hourly and day figures such as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£161 per day where relevant. You remain in control of your working life while providing essential, person-centred care in Aston and surrounding neighbourhoods like Duddeston, New Town Row, Gosta Green, Gun Quarter, Birmingham and Ashted.
This work is for experienced carers who want a closer, longer-term relationship with the people they support. Live-in care involves personal care, preparing meals, supporting mobility, medication prompts and companionship — all delivered with respect for the client’s routine and the agreed periods of rest for the carer. Many carers who move away from agency rota work appreciate the predictability and depth of support live-in roles allow in Aston and across the West Midlands.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, invoice and take care of payments, and provide insurance for the period you are working. You remain self-employed, set your rates and accept only the placements you want. To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one).
Applying takes minutes — complete a profile, upload your documents and tell us the areas you’re willing to work in. Profiles normally go live within days of verification. If you already work live-in or are considering travel to Aston from elsewhere in the UK, we’ll support you through checks, client introductions and practical questions about life in someone else’s home.
