Description

Live-in care in Coventry means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks so someone can stay safe and comfortable at home. Carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements and bring stability to families in Coventry and the surrounding towns. Right now, 104 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want a different way of working from agency shifts. To join PrimeCarers you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have live‑in experience that’s helpful, but it’s not the only route in — demonstrate solid care experience and professional references and we’ll support the rest.

On PrimeCarers you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area, and you keep the control over the work you accept. Typical rates for this kind of role are £145–£160 per day. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. Many carers choose the Coventry area and nearby towns such as Bagallit, Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton, Royal Leamington Spa and Camp Hill because of the variety of live‑in opportunities and family needs across the West Midlands.

Live‑in placements are different from shift work. You’ll live in the client’s home and plan your day with agreed awake and sleep‑in arrangements and scheduled breaks. Placements can be short‑term while someone recovers, or longer term where continuity and companionship are vital. As a self‑employed carer you can travel for placements and pick the ones that suit your preferences and lifestyle.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your experience and references, and complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can invite you to introductions. If you want to arrange or renew an Enhanced DBS we can point you to the quickest route so you don’t wait to begin.

If you’re a skilled carer in Coventry thinking about moving away from agency constraints, PrimeCarers is designed to give you more control and cleaner admin so you can focus on great care. Join other carers helping families across Coventry and the West Midlands by creating your profile today.
