Description
Live-in care in Balsall Heath gives experienced carers the chance to work closely with one person, staying in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. If you’re used to agency roll calls and want more control over who you work for and how much you earn, this could be a better way to work. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and provide practical help, companionship and personal care in someone’s own home.
Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rate, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can accept live-in roles in Balsall Heath, across the West Midlands and nearby areas like Moseley, Sparkbrook, Showell Green, Wake Green, Sparkhill and Edgbaston. Typical rates for carers on the platform sit around £145–£160 per day depending on the support needed and your experience.

Live-in work suits carers who are comfortable living with a client and helping with morning and evening routines, medicines, meal preparation, mobility support and being available through the night with agreed rest breaks. It’s a role for professionals with at least one year of experience who value continuity of care, want to build relationships, and prefer longer shifts to frequent handovers. Many carers find the steadier pattern of live-in placements a good alternative to shift-based agency work in Balsall Heath.
