Live-in Carer Jobs in Erdington

Live-in care in Erdington means moving into a client's home and supporting day-to-day life around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You’ll be part of the household routine: helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and keeping the home safe and comfortable. Live-in placements often attract carers from across the country who are ready for longer stays and deeper relationships with clients. Right now, 103 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency hours allow. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer, set your own rates and pick the clients, hours and service area that fit you. Many carers on the platform set rates within £145–£160 per day and adjust them by experience, specialisms and travel. Live-in roles often use a day-rate approach; see £145–£160 per day for typical ranges and £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care conversations, depending on the placement.

Typical live-in duties in Erdington and nearby areas such as Stockland Green, Gravelly Hill, Birches Green, Bromford, Perry Common and Tyburn include personal care, meal preparation, companionship, mobility support and daily household routines. Placements can be in private homes, supported living settings or with families needing consistent daytime and overnight cover. You’ll have agreed breaks and time off built into each arrangement.

What PrimeCarers handles: we match you with families, draft the contracts, process invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That lets you focus on care and client relationships, not paperwork. You remain self-employed and choose who you work with.

Basic requirements:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes — your profile typically goes live within days of verification — and many carers who’ve left agency rotas find the flexibility and clarity refreshing. Live-in roles in the West Midlands can involve travel; make sure you’re comfortable with longer stays away from home before you apply.

If you’re based in Erdington or nearby and want to take charge of your work-life balance while keeping meaningful care at the heart of what you do, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a quick next step. You choose your clients, set your terms and we support the rest.
