Description
Live-in care in Four Oaks means living with a client in their home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, staying with families for days, weeks or longer depending on what’s needed. Right now, 118 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want deeper relationships than shift-based roles. You’ll help with routines such as personal care, meal support, mobility assistance, medication reminders and household help — all delivered in the client’s home and tailored to their day-to-day life. Live-in shifts include agreed rest breaks and time away; you’ll always know expectations before you accept a placement.
On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay varies by placement; see the usual ranges: £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day per live‑in day. Many carers list rates within £145–£160 per day. We list ongoing self-employed opportunities across Four Oaks and nearby Mere Green, Doe Bank, Hill Hook, Sutton Coldfield, Tudor Hill and Roughley in Staffordshire and help you find the right match.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working with a family. That means less paperwork for you and clearer, timely payment for the care you provide. You remain in control: accept placements that fit your availability and travel preferences; lots of carers travel nationally for live‑in roles.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify details quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
These are ongoing opportunities for self‑employed carers, not a single post. If you’d like longer-term placements, short stays or a mix of both, set up a profile and specify the kind of live-in work you accept. Once approved, PrimeCarers will introduce you to families and manage the paperwork so you can focus on care.
