Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Edgbaston

Live-in care in Edgbaston means living with a client in their home to support daily routines, meals, medication prompts and companionship, with agreed breaks and time off. Carers travel from across the country for placements and often find the variety and responsibility of live-in work rewarding.
Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in care assistant you’ll be the main point of contact for day-to-day needs: helping with personal care, mobility, household routines, light domestic tasks and social interaction. Shifts are continuous while you live with the client, but rest and agreed breaks are part of every arrangement. These roles suit experienced carers who want to work closely with one person or a household and who are comfortable being part of family life in Edgbaston.

PrimeCarers is for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay is £145–£160 per day, with common hourly and live-in bands shown as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You’ll pick placements that fit your experience and lifestyle, whether you prefer short-term cover or longer-term live-in stays across Edgbaston and nearby areas such as Five Ways, Chad Valley, Brindleyplace, Bournbrook, Balsall Heath and Chinese Quarter.
