Description
Live-in care in Bordesley means living with someone in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, companionship and keeping the household running in a way that supports the person’s independence. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for weeks or months depending on the arrangement. Right now, 124 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced, confident carers who want continuity with one person or household rather than shift-to-shift change. If you’re used to working flexibly, can manage household boundaries and enjoy getting to know someone over time, live-in care in Bordesley can be rewarding. You’ll also be working across the West Midlands occasionally and may cover short journeys to nearby areas when placements require it.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for roles like these is around £145–£160 per day depending on needs, skills and the hours agreed. Short daytime visits and hourly support sit in the range £18.50–£20 per hour while live-in day rates typically fall in £145–£160 per day — but you always decide what to charge. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care and the household tasks that come with it.
