Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Dudley

Live-in care in Dudley 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 help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, companionship and household routines that keep a person safe and comfortable where they belong. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring skills gained in domiciliary and residential settings.
Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit someone who values continuity of care and the chance to build a genuine relationship with a client. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area — many carers work across Dudley and nearby towns such as Tipton, Netherton, Rowley Regis, Coseley, Gornal and Brierley Hill. Typical pay for roles you’ll see can be £145–£160 per day and you decide the level of commitment that fits your life.

PrimeCarers takes care of the client search and the paperwork so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. You remain self-employed: you agree your rate, negotiate hours and keep control of how you work. Live-in placements commonly use a day-rate structure; typical ranges are shown as £145–£160 per day while hourly support often sits around £18.50–£20 per hour.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve worked for agencies, in domiciliary care, or in care homes and are thinking about moving to a self-employed model, this route gives you flexibility and more control over your work in the West Midlands and beyond.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, submit your references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll be able to view and choose live-in roles that suit your skills and location, accepting only the placements you want. If you prefer shorter contracts or occasional cover, you can choose those too.
