Description
Live-in care in Birmingham City Centre means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements and bring experience, compassion and practical skill to long-term home support. On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed, set your own rates (typically £145–£160 per day), and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you.
Right now, 113 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in roles suit carers who prefer continuity of care and close working relationships: helping with personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, medication prompts, companionship and household routines. You’ll be the person the client relies on day to day, so reliability and good communication matter as much as hands-on ability. Many carers moving away from agency shifts find the stability and autonomy of Birmingham City Centre placements rewarding.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, prepare contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are on a placement. You remain self-employed at all times and can accept or decline any client offer. Carers coming from elsewhere around the West Midlands and beyond regularly find live-in work in Birmingham City Centre, including nearby areas such as Cofton Common, Birmingham, Gun Quarter, Chinese Quarter, Gosta Green and Digbeth.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single role here but an ongoing stream of self-employed live-in opportunities across Birmingham City Centre and the wider West Midlands area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
