Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families around Gornal who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements in Gornal and the surrounding area. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits carers who prefer long shifts, close relationships and continuity of care. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay reflects that control — many carers use the flexibility of £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £146–£161 per day for live-in days, and listings on our site commonly sit within £146–£161 per day.
PrimeCarers finds the clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. While you are working on a placement, insurance is included. You’ll agree working patterns and breaks with the family in advance, keeping professional boundaries and time off clear. Live-in placements in and near Gornal often serve people with long-term needs who want one-to-one support and local visits; families come from places such as Sedgley, Coseley, Dudley, Tipton, Brierley Hill and Netherton.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references.
