Description
Live-in care in Browns Green means living in with someone who needs daily support — helping with personal care, meals, medication and companionship while they remain in their own home. Live-in shifts include agreed breaks, and many carers travel from across the country for placements that suit them. Right now, 119 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced, practical carers who want more control than agency life often allows. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and your own boundaries; typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day. You choose which clients you’ll work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover, whether you’d prefer to stay local to Browns Green or travel to placements elsewhere in the West Midlands and beyond.
Daily duties vary by client, but live-in care commonly includes supporting morning and evening routines, assisting with washing and dressing, prompting or administering medication, meal preparation, light household tasks and meaningful companionship. Care is around the clock with agreed rest and sleep breaks built into each arrangement; PrimeCarers helps make those arrangements clear in the contract.
Requirements to join
- At least one year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
