Description
Work as a self-employed live-in carer in Bartley Green and be the person who supports someone in their own home. Live-in care means you'll live with a client, helping with daily routines and personal care around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area; PrimeCarers finds suitable families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Right now, 117 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who want to move away from rigid rotas. In Bartley Green you’ll find placements that need steady, compassionate support for practical tasks, medication prompts, companionship and mobility assistance. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for weeks or months at a time. You decide how far you’re willing to travel and which homes you’ll accept — and you remain entirely self-employed.
Typical day and pay arrangements vary by client. Many carers charge within £146–£161.50 per day for hourly care and discuss a daily live-in day rate when they agree terms with a family. Whatever you choose, PrimeCarers manages the paperwork so you can focus on care.
We place carers across Bartley Green and the wider West Midlands, and in nearby towns such as Maypole, South Woodgate, Middle Quinton, California, Frankley and Shenley Green. That means local and longer-distance opportunities — a mix that suits people who want variety or those ready to relocate temporarily for a placement.
