Description

Live-in caring in Maypole means living alongside a client in their own home, supporting daily routines around the clock and taking agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take these placements, bringing continuity and companionship to people who prefer to stay at home. If you want to move away from agency rotas and be the main, trusted carer for someone in Maypole or nearby, this is the role to consider.
Right now, 122 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This platform is for experienced, self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area — many carers list rates within £145–£160 per day depending on experience and location. PrimeCarers finds families for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Live-in shifts usually cover day-to-day support, personal care, medication prompts, light household help and companionship; each arrangement is agreed with the family before you start.

Live-in work suits carers who can live with someone for a period of time, manage routines overnight, and who appreciate long stretches of continuity rather than split hourly visits. Placements around Maypole, including South Woodgate, Bartley Green, California, Quinton, Middle Quinton and Frankley, often ask for practical experience, patience and a calm approach to daily life.

Requirements to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
