Description
Live-in care in Digbeth means living with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and clear boundaries. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements in Digbeth, working closely with families to keep someone safe and comfortable at home. Right now, 133 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agencies offer. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and decide which live-in placements in Digbeth and the wider West Midlands you accept. Typical pay varies by client needs and location — £148–£162.50 per day — and many carers find the flexibility lets them manage their lifestyle and income on their terms.
PrimeCarers handles the practical admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, run invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. Typical hourly and live-in ranges can vary depending on duties: £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £148–£162.50 per day for a live-in day are common starting points used locally. You remain self-employed and set the final rate with each family.
Requirements to join are straightforward and practical:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience;
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one);
- The right to work in the UK;
- Verifiable references from recent roles.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and our verification team checks documents. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing live-in opportunities across Digbeth, nearby areas such as Deritend, Bordesley, Chinese Quarter, Birmingham City Centre, Cofton Common and Birmingham, and the rest of the West Midlands quickly.
If you’re tired of rota surprises and want clarity around hours, breaks and pay, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to take control while still getting client introductions and admin support. Set your preferences, pick the placements that fit, and carry on giving the compassionate, skilled care you do best in and around Digbeth.
