Description

Live-in care assistants support people by living with them in their own homes and helping with daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Live-in placements can last weeks, months or longer and many carers travel from across the country for the right match. You’ll be working in homes across Kitts Green and nearby communities in the West Midlands, providing companionship, personal care and support for day-to-day tasks.
Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life often allows. On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed, set your own approach and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit you. You’ll also set your own rates — many live-in carers use a range that reflects their skills and the intensity of the placement. Practical details you should be able to confirm before you join include:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references from previous care work

Pay and flexibility are central. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical ranges for this kind of work are £146–£161 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work on a placement. That means you can focus on care and relationships rather than chasing paperwork.

Live-in care means being there day and night so you’ll be supporting routines, medication prompts, personal care, meals and companionship — often forming deep, rewarding connections. Breaks are agreed with the client and family in advance so responsibilities and respite are clear. Carers travel to placements from other towns and regions, so if you’re willing to relocate temporarily or commute into Kitts Green you’ll find a range of options.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can view your profile and invite you to discuss placements. Many carers find that Kitts Green placements sit alongside work in neighbouring communities such as Garretts Green, Tile Cross, Fordbridge, Lyndon Green, Lea Hall and Kents Moat.
