Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Five Ways

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families looking for live-in support across Five Ways. Live-in care means you’ll be resident in someone’s home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel in for placements in and around Five Ways and the West Midlands, including Brindleyplace, Ladywood, Chad Valley, Edgbaston, Cofton Common and Jewellery Quarter. Right now, 116 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles vary: some need help with personal care and continence support, others with medication prompting, meal preparation, household tasks and company through the day and evening. You’ll work alongside the person’s existing routines, supporting independence and safety while respecting their home and family life. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for a few days, weeks or longer depending on the arrangement.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own terms. You choose clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — many carers work within typical ranges such as £146–£162 per day for care roles. For reference, typical hourly and live-in day ranges are shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £146–£162 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced care workers used to private or agency settings who want more control over the work they accept. Live-in care is best for people who enjoy close one-to-one support, are comfortable living in someone else’s home for agreed periods, and can manage overnight responsibility with planned breaks. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rota work to self-employed live-in placements in Five Ways, this platform is designed for that change.
