Live-in Carer Jobs in Hay Mills

Live-in care around Hay Mills means being part of someone’s daily life in their own home — supporting routines, personal care and companionship while living on site with agreed breaks. Many carers who work with PrimeCarers travel from across the country for placements, bringing experience and continuity to families in Hay Mills and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Right now, 112 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing, self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own terms: choose clients, decide your hours and define your service area. You can set rates within £145–£160 per day and decide whether to accept short- or long-term live-in work. Typical hourly and day ranges are shown where relevant: £18.50–£20 per hour for waking or hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

Live-in roles usually involve supporting daily routines, helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation and meaningful companionship. You’ll work in people’s homes across Hay Mills and nearby areas including South Yardley, Tyseley, Yardley, Bordesley Green, Gilbertstone and Small Heath. Work varies by client need — some placements need mostly companionship and prompts; others need more hands-on personal care. Carers travel for placements, and many find a regular live-in arrangement offers predictable routines and deeper relationships than shift-based care.

PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care. We match you with local families, manage contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, choose the hours you accept and invoice through the platform. Joining takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

• Who we’re looking for: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• What to expect: live-in shifts with agreed breaks, clear contracts, and direct relationships with families in Hay Mills and the wider West Midlands.
• Flexibility: choose how far you’ll travel and which hours to accept — many carers balance live-in work with local daytime commitments or travel for longer placements.
