Description

PrimeCarers helps experienced, self-employed carers find live-in placements in Maney and the surrounding area. Live-in care means you live with the client in their home, support their daily routines and remain available around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring valuable skills to households across the West Midlands. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who want continuity of care, closer relationships with the people they support and a predictable working pattern for a set period. You’ll help with personal care, medicine prompts, mealtimes, mobility and companionship, adapting support to each person’s routine. Carers set their own working rhythm with clients and agree any breaks and sleep arrangements up front.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed and set your own rates — typical live-in ranges are shown below for reference. We connect you with families in Maney and nearby towns like Driffold, Boldmere, Tudor Hill, Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield and Reddicap Heath and handle contracts, invoicing and payments for every booking. Insurance is included while you work on placements arranged through PrimeCarers.

Pay and flexibility: You choose the hours and service area, and you set your rates. Typical hourly and live-in bandings used on the site are shown to help you price your time: £145–£160 per day. You’ll find roles that use the full range depending on tasks and client needs. Choose the clients and schedules that suit you.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify your documents, then your profile usually goes live within days. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll take care of the rest.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Maney and the wider West Midlands, not a single post.
