Description
Live-in care in Coal Pool is for experienced carers who want to live with a client in their own home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll work closely with a family in Coal Pool and the surrounding area, providing companionship, personal care and practical help so someone can stay at home rather than move into a care setting. Right now, 100 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in roles mean being present overnight and available throughout the day, while taking agreed periods of rest. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and Coal Pool attracts carers because of its local community feel and easy access to nearby towns such as High Heath, Walsall, Bloxwich, Pelsall, Aldridge and Short Heath. Many carers find the continuity of live-in work rewarding if they prefer building routine and strong, one-to-one relationships.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with day rates for live-in roles usually shown as £145–£160 per day and hourly-care work displayed as £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work—so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
This opportunity suits carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency life offers. To join you must have an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list a single role here; these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Coal Pool and the wider West Midlands.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain free to accept or decline matches, negotiate hours and set boundaries for your living arrangements and agreed breaks. PrimeCarers supports the match process and handles client contracts and payments so you know what to expect before you agree to a placement in Coal Pool.
If you’re tired of agency rotas and want the stability and closeness of live-in work, setting your own terms as a self-employed carer could be the change you need. Create your profile and start seeing suitable live-in opportunities near Coal Pool today.
